minus-squarequeermunist she/her@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoJust make the deposit equal to the price of the product. A three dollar bottle of coke has a three dollar deposit. You get your three dollars back when you take it to a bottle center. But that would hurt consumer demand. Can’t have that!
minus-squarebratosch@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoSo it’s all supposed to be free? The actual soda inside, the machinery for bottling etc. ? Also, how would free stuff hurt consumer demand? It would hurt income, yes, but not demand . Also also, do people really need that much of a incentive to throw their shit away at the appropriate place rather than just on the curb?
minus-squarequeermunist she/her@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoNo no no, I mean the price should be doubled and half be a deposit. And yes, take a walk next to a highway. They need this.
