“At the time there was no thought about the waste problem”: We get comments

You can read that article and those comments here. Clearly our readership, or at least those commenting, is strongly in favor of a bottle deposit law to help promote higher rates of recycling PET packaging. 

"No mention of the waist problem": I wager the reader meant to write "waste" but the double entendre was perfect (we are talking about sugar-loaded beverages). My thanks go out to that anonymous author for the headline.
