I’ve noticed a trend lately. Now that most plastic bottles have a five cent deposit, there seem to be fewer of them tossed along the roadways. Admittedly, there are few people who would stoop to pick up a discarded bottle. And with the economy in the tank and prices soaring, more people are recycling the bottles to get their nickel back. But there doesn’t seem to be a reduction in the amount of litter. The litter of choice nowadays seems to be losing scratch-off lottery tickets.
If you can find 20 returnable bottles, you can redeem them for a one dollar lottery ticket. Finding 20 bottles may not be easy, but it’s a lot easier than purchasing a winning lottery ticket.
Better yet, put that dollar in the poor box. It’ll make you feel a whole lot richer in the long run.
