NY Better Bottle Bill
Act now for a CLEANER NEW YORK – call your legislators today!
This legislation calls for updating our nickel-deposit system to include increasingly popular non-carbonated beverages such as bottled water, iced teas, and sports drinks. It also would require beverage companies to return unclaimed deposits to NY to protect our environment.
This is a great opportunity to make our communities cleaner, increase recycling, and generate more funding for recycling, parks, and other local environmental programs. But time is running out and the industry opponents are using all their clout to oppose it.
That's why we need grassroots pressure – especially on the State Senate, which has blocked this measure every year. Your action NOW could make the difference. Budget discussions will be coming to a head in the next few weeks. Let's get it done in the state budget this year!
The next few weeks are crucial for this campaign. Please contact your Senator and Assemblymember TODAY and urge them to pass the Bigger Better Bottle Bill in the state budget!
