Chicago did that tax with bottled water some time back. They didn't
make what they thought and did nothing for the environment. Illinois
has no deposits on anything. Pretty sad. I save most of my cans for
someone who takes them to his church for the scout troop. It's not
much but at least I'm doing something. Chicago and it's burbs are WAY
behind on recycling.
