Nelsonians support bottle deposits

There's
a ground swell of support to
pressure this region's two local
authorities to support glass
bottle deposit legislation being
promoted by the Greens. Nearly
4-hundred and 50 people signed
a petition at the weekend requesting
both councils seek backing for
this initiative from Local Government
New Zealand to encourage the
government to enact bottle deposit
legislation.
Spokesman for Motueka base Community Action for People and Planet Duncan Eddy says clearly glass recycling isn't viable any more and the only way to beat the mountains of glass is to reuse the bottles.
