The Ten Cent Bottle Law
"...Turn your trash to fast cash
You see, it's very feasible 'Chi-CHING!' you will hear If the bar code is readable!..." Music & Lyrics © 2016 Emily Springsteen
A NOTE ON "THE TEN CENT BOTTLE LAW"
I grew up in a state that has had a highly effective recycling incentive program in place since before I was born. The well-established “Michigan Bottle Deposit Law” allows for the culturally accepted norm that empty carbonated beverage bottles and cans are the equivalent of cash money! High school students run fund raising drives, collecting “empties” for athletic departments and school enrichment trips. Broke young adults can count on a few bucks for gas money if their parents offer them the stash of “returnables” piling up in their garage. You can bet that after a college football game, opportunists, motivated by their own financial benefit, will scour the campus, removing any “ten-centers” left by tailgaters and leaving a cleaner environment for all! After moving to the Sunshine State of Florida, I found myself gigging in venue after venue where hard-working and well-intentioned bar staff perpetually cleared their countertops by dumping valuable bottles and cans into the landfill basket. I cringe every time I see that cash potential lost and the recyclable material wasted. At the time of writing this, 11 out of 50 US states have a bottle return practice in effect. My song, “The Ten Cent Bottle Law,” argues that cash for trash isn’t just a good idea, it’s a way of life where I come from. If you live in a Can State, you get it. If you don’t, you’re missing out on a lucrative opportunity that really works! Let’s spread the word to our friends and our legislators, and get everyone on board! In song or in action, please promote, "The Ten Cent Bottle Law"! song lyrics
Hey, listen up, People! I'll tell you a truth, About a practice performed in the land of my youth! There's a policy, functioning, forty years strong All the states in the Union, they ought join 'long When Michigan voted, with foresight, they saw The benefits of the Ten Cent Bottle Law Well our countryside's fine, less aluminum glitter Our folks have incentive to withhold their litter! Oh how I long to return to the land Where a kid gets corrected for crushing a can! Turn your trash to fast cash, you see, it's very feasible, "Chi-CHING!" you will hear, if the bar code is readable! Have you ever wanted a savings account? Put your cans in the corner, Your funds, they will mount! In Michigan, residents never go broke If money gets tight, they'll go find an old Coke To the states left without it, Your systems are glitched! In Michigan you can find cash in a ditch In the spring, in particular, after the thaw Lies the promise of wealth From that old Bottle Law! CHORUS Save the refuse from landfills, put dough in your pockets It just makes cents, 'fore you try it, don't knock it! It's not an anomaly, a fifth of our nation's On board with this eco- win- win situation! CHORUS Well, the Bottle Law works as a stimulus plan And not just from the currency swapped for the can Recycling consumers go back to the store Returning their empties and shopping for more Jerry Seinfeld established the right state of mind Write your congressmen, folks, You don't have to be blind To the fact that your profits are there in your hands Gather money, what's better? And clean up the land! CHORUS |
Stop Seismic Blasting!
