Over 50,000 nips have been collected by volunteers in the last 45 days. We need action from our legislators. Our waterways are loaded with nips because they are not being stopped by our street drains. Something needs to be done & the time is now! #RIbottlebill @TaraGranahan

Great story by @NBC10 on the need for a 'bottle bill' in RI. #RIbottlebill @repmcentee33 @bridget4ri @RIHouseofReps @RISenate @JustZeroOrg @CLF @RIAudubon @cleanoceanacces @ZeroWastePVD @WRWC

Volunteers advocate for 'bottle bill' to curb nip bottle litter in Rhode Island https://t.co/idtZfnlLZY

Data shows that higher bottle bill deposit amts lead to higher beverage container redemption rates. (E.g., when OR's dime deposit took effect in 2017, the redemption rate climbed from 64% in 2016 to 86% in 2019.)

1/ Unsurprisingly during today's hearing on a proposed #BottleBill in Maryland (HB 1089) we heard the same false arguments that we hear over and over again. Let's go through them and set the record straight. A quick🧵@sierraclubmd @anacostiaws @AnacostiaRrkper @JustZeroOrg

3/ The contamination levels in curbside recycling programs is one of the reasons states with #BottleBills have double the recycling rates than those without them.

“Rhode Island Bottle Bill” campaign kickoff at the State House Library. Bill McCusker says groups have collected 53k nips from every city and town in Rhode Island. A bottle bill would make them worth $5,000. He says, it’s a “bottle bill needs to be done.”

“The #RIBottlebill would break the cycle of plastic pollution by speeding up the transition to reusable containers” @kevin_budris

[Jed Thorp @JedThorp]

From my morning walk along Narragansett Blvd in Edgewood: this plastic bottle just waiting to be swept into a storm drain that drains directly into Narragansett Bay. Pass the #RIBottleBill @RIHouseofReps @RISenate @cleanwater_ri @SaveTheBayRI 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[Clean Water Action RI @cleanwater_ri]

Thank you @repmcentee33 and @bridget4ri for your support of the #RIbottlebill! The bottle bill will reduce litter AND increase recycling rates in RI.

[Carlos R Munoz @ReadCarlos]

.@JedThorp says they have data from surrounding states that shows a #bottlebill works. He says “all the glass” being sent to the Central Landfill in R.I. is buried, and most plastic unable to be turned into glass is down cycled into lesser materials.

“I think this is the year to get it done because there is a growing awareness of the plastic problem in the state, and lawmakers get that we need to do more." -@JedThorp #RIbottlebill
