Just love it down there... it's so amazingly gorgeous. I had remembered that you just moved to Beaufort... Hope you fared well during the Hurricane... <br /><br />Desi, I wish that the US had more bottle deposits. I think it would help tremendously in the amount that we find littered. Hmmm.... I wonder why they don't have the caps be part of the bottle deposit? (by the way, I really LOVE your blog!!! I am that parent too!!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946726948266089329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381312513261620243.post-85521814254434900502011-08-31T10:08:54.266-04:002011-08-31T10:08:54.266-04:00I think bottle caps get cast aside around here (Al...I think bottle caps get cast aside around here (Alberta, Canada) because the caps aren't included in the bottle deposit. A Gatorade bottle is worth 10¢, any beverage container holding 1 litre or more is worth 25¢, so it is rare to see drink containers as litter. The caps are another story.<br />A local charity collects the caps, now, to sell as scrap plastic and raise funds for children with chronic illness. Hopefully, as their awareness campaign takes hold, we will see fewer bottle caps on the ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381312513261620243.post-59114090268481917062011-08-31T08:24:19.533-04:002011-08-31T08:24:19.533-04:00Thank you for taking the time to clean up some of ...Thank you for taking the time to clean up some of Wrightsville Beach! I just moved up the coast to Beaufort from near Carolina Beach. I always had my kids bring a garbage bag so we could put any trash we see in it every time we went the CB of Fort Fisher.Kevin Zelniohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14192385384151149566noreply@blogger.com
