Hello Mr. Henricks,

As a citizen and professional land use planner I support a "bottle bill" for
Florida.

For over 5 years I have participated several times annually in a clean up at
the Sweetwater Branch in the Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park.

Each cleanup we collect so much litter we are rather discouraged we will
never see an end in sight. Most of the tons collected are plastic bottles
and cans. A bottle bill will help stop this from reaching the waste stream.

Also, as you may be aware the City of Curitaba, Brazil, made advances in
recycling by offering incentives such as transit passes.


Thank you. Kathleen
