Send a Letter to the Editor Celebrating the Bottle Bill

We are only four months into 2009, but so far it's been a very green year. 

Lawmakers passed a state budget earlier this month that updates New York's bottle deposit law to include bottled waters, something state lawmakers couldn't have dreamed of back when the original bottle bill was passed in 1982.   

Please take a moment to tell newspapers in your area that updating the state's most successful recycling program was good for New Yorkers and our environment.   

By updating the bottle deposit law to match consumer trends, New York is taking positive steps to protect our natural resources. Expanding the Bottle Bill will remove billions of bottles from our parks, roadways and waters.  

Take a moment to celebrate New York's expanded bottle deposit law by reaching out to editors at your local newspapers to let them know you support the Bigger Better Bottle Bill.
