To the editor:
I am voting YES on Question 2 on the November ballot because more types of bottles (water, iced tea, etc.) will now be included. This will reduce plastic waste and litter enormously.
But there’s also another great reason to vote for Question 2 on the ballot this November. With it, voters have a chance to right a wrong. Years ago, politicians raided the clean environment fund (where unclaimed bottle deposits used to go) and moved that money into the general fund to spend as they please. Question 2 will move those unclaimed deposits back into the clean environment fund, where it will be used exclusively for cleaning up our open spaces and increasing recycling.
Think about it—less bottle litter and more funds for a clean environment. What’s not to like?
Sincerely,
Diana Abrashkin
