Question

please awnser!

Answer 1

In 2005, Oregonians purchased about 200 million bottles of water; of which, an estimated 125 million were thrown in the trash.  That is a staggering number (62.5%) and bottled water consumption has increased significantly since 2005.

This revelation prompted the Oregon Legislature to add water bottles to the existing "Bottle Bill" which required a 5-cent deposit on all glass, plastic and aluminum container used for beer, soda, malt beverages, and carbonated mineral water.  Enacted in 1972, the "Bottle Bill" greatly increased recycling rates in Oregon.
