Would more people stop littering if they would be paid to return their trash, and should it be worth more?

How could this effect the economy?

Nope NY has the same thing and there are certain cities that have lots of trash in the area. It's just homeless people/fiends that pick up the bottles. There are also people who save it up at their homes then return it

http://www.banthebottle.net/bottled-water-facts/



Making bottles to meet America’s demand for bottled water uses more than 17 million barrels of oil annually, enough to fuel 1.3 million cars for a year. And that’s not even including the oil used for transportation. The energy we waste using bottled water would be enough to power 190,000 homes.

Last year, the average American used 167 disposable water bottles, but only recycled 38.3. Americans used about 50 billion plastic water bottles last year. However, the U.S.’s recycling rate for plastic is only 23 percent, which means 38 billion water bottles – more than $1 billion worth of plastic – are wasted each year.

The recommended eight glasses of water a day, at U.S. tap rates equals about $.49 per year; that same amount of bottled water is about $1,400. Antimony, which is found in PET plastic bottles, in small doses can cause dizziness and depression; in larger doses it can cause nausea, vomiting and death.

That 8 glasses of water is slightly a myth. The recommended amount should also include the fruits & vegetables you eat as well as water you drink.

Also the fuel being used to transport the water to stores and to your home as well. There are countries that are starting to ban bottled water


Why can't that one-billion dollars be re sold though?
