A national bottle bill would be HUGE for reducing #plasticpollution & microplastics!
Here's an explainer I made for #TennCan, the effort to pass a bottle bill in Tennessee, which has worked for over 15yrs & is unlikely to ever pass anything.

Fantastic, motivating video by @McCauley_Lab on #plasticpollution. Not just a problem for the oceans--the Tennessee River has among the highest microplastic levels measured to date!
2019 is the year to do something about it! #TennCan 🥫♻️🏙️

40 years ago, TN's farmers, sportsmen, enviro groups and a lot of legislators got behind a 5¢ deposit on cans and bottles. Let's work together again (bottlers, will you join us this time?) and make it happen in 2019. Happy New Year! @FBonTheHill @twfoutofdoors #tenncan
In 2019 I will be fighting for the #TennCan container deposit bill in TN. A 5c refundable charge on containers will reduce #plasticpollution & incentivize a #CircularEconomy!
Make this happen! 10%➡️ 80%♻️
@TennCanTweets
As the year winds down and we look toward 2019, I’m asking you to make a commitment: find something you want to change in your community and take the first step toward changing it. If you need some inspiration, take a look at some of the young leaders who inspired me this year.
While you got the family together, why not talk about microplastics in our water? Container deposits can triple recycling rates (& cut down #plasticpollution), but the US hasn't passed one in 16 yrs!

Looks like we can now add Turkey--yes, Turkey!--to the list of governments across the globe requiring deposit-return. Time for #TennCan
Turkey works to improve recycling and waste management https://t.co/W6RMt4AKL5 via @@fethiyetimes #ZeroWaste #Recycling
@mattwilkinsbio @TennCanTweets @TNRiverkeeper @TheHarpethRiver @wilmotinc @VandySPEAR @TNWomenInGreen @lovelocalnash @The_Compact @M4S_Nashville @TNAquarium We support @TeenCanTweets #TennCan Bottle Bill! Many years overdue
Been workin' on a vid since October–explaining why "bottle bills" (5c refundable charges on containers) are an ESSENTIAL tool for addressing #plasticpollution. And why everyone should support @TennCanTweets in making TN the 1st US state to pass such a law in 16 years! #TennCan
Tennessee is facing an environmental crisis & few people are talking about it.
Biggest, easiest 1st step: support the @TennCanTweets 5c bottle deposit! #plasticpollution #sustainability #TennCan
A column by @DavidCookTFP takes a look at the plastic pollution issue in Tennessee, comparing it to Chattanooga's air quality problem nearly 50 years ago.

Great vid from @TED_ED showing the lifecycle of plastic bottles & why #TennCan is so important for incentivizing recycling!

Bottles and cans account for roughly half of Tennessee’s litter volume. Wondering how YOU can help reduce recyclable waste in TN and aid local communities at the same time? Join us in support of the Tennessee Bottle Bill! ♻️ Learn more here: https://t.co/63dq99nfwm #TennCan
It was standing-room only last night at Central Library (Memphis) for the Sierra Club’s recycling program. #TennCan
Really enjoyed chatting w/ Laura Nash (@ZWCRadio) abt problems & solutions to #plasticpollution! Low-hanging fruit are bottle deposits like @TennCanTweets, which incentivize recycling & provide high-quality materials for a #CircularEconomy!

Fortunately, the proposed #TennCan 5¢ container deposit bill would incentivize recycling & prevent billions of containers from filling up Tennessee's landfills & watersheds! ♻️🥫🏕️🏙️

Wow. Tennessee River 16,000 to 18,000 microplastic particles per cubic meter (Germany's Rhine River - 200 particles per cubic meter). https://t.co/C8NJU1hoh7 #plasticpollution
The solution to Tennessee's #microplastic problem is clear! Container deposit states have ~3x higher recycling rates than the 40 non-deposit states. Support the #TennCan Bottle Bill! Good for public health, the environment & small business! ♻️🥫🏕️🏙️
Study: The Tennessee River has a shocking amount of microplastic pollution. Why? Too much littering and too little recycling. https://t.co/8ZKE4ignn4
Wow smh This is crazy but we can do something about it! #TennCan
Bad news: The Tennessee River has the highest #microplastic levels on record!
Good news: We can fix this by putting a value on plastic waste to incentivize reuse & recycling! Tell your state reps to support the #TennCan container deposit bill! #planetorplastic #CircularEconomy

Microplastics in Tennessee River 80 percent higher than in China’s Yangtze River! ( The source of 55 percent of all river-born microplastic entering ocean). Likely source: decomposition from large plastic waste in landfills. https://t.co/8T5QbXIEjm
Bottle deposits are popular in Australia, Europe & the 10 US states that have them bc they're good for the environment, small businesses & produce high quality post-recycled materials to power the local #circulareconomy!
Let's make this a reality in Tennessee! #TennCan ♻️🥫🏕️🏙️
Fairfield’s first reverse vending machine as part of the Return and Earn container deposit scheme has received 3,264,464 containers since it opened in January. https://t.co/4vNCyI0HJo
Plastic pollution is a global problem! Until countries mobilize to address it, we must act locally. In Tennessee, a 5¢ deposit would keep billions of containers out of our landfills & watersheds! Good for the environment, public health & the economy! #TennCan ♻️🥫🏕️🏙️
