Former Massachusetts Chief Park Ranger Curt Rudge explains why it’s so important to vote Yes on Question 2 on Nov. 4 to stop bottle litter in Massachusetts and expand the Bottle Bill. Big beverage companies are spending over $5 million to say things are fine the way they are–but Ranger Curt has seen bottles without a deposit on them from sports drinks, iced tea, and water are piling up as litter in our beautiful state. He’s seen the damage this litter does to our parks. That’s why we need to vote Yes on Question 2 on November 4. (30 seconds)
As on who lives on a busy rural road, I can attest to what Ranger Curt has to say. The litter I see at the edges of my property has few returnables in it. What little there is is scavenged by people who can make a few cents returning it. The rest just hangs around as litter. I am not about to be the trash collector for the clods who throw this stuff out their windows.
I have been tempted to post the following sign, but I know that would just escalate the war.
