I do remember doing and using all things mentioned in " the being green" article. I even used an ink well in school before I obtained a refillable ink pen. But, I always remember returning bottles and cans for 2 cents a piece while growing up in Massachusetts.
In other states we've lived in, it was the grocer lobbies who kept the bottle deposit program at bay. They didn't want to provide the time, space, logistics & $ to have to run the program.
