If a huge business conglomerate opposes it, that means it's probably good for the community.

It works i Denmark,and has for many years

Many other states already do this...

It could mean the end of empty bottles everywhere (that's what happened where I live)

are the stores that sell the beverages at least required to accept the bottles?

I love it.

Recently there have been big pushes to remove it. I worry they'll succeed.
