Why is there no refund on plastic water bottles that are sold in stores like soda bottles?
I don't have an exact answer, but I believe that non-carbonated drinks don't have a deposit and carbonated drinks (sodas, etc.) do. I think that there needs to be a refund because the water bottles will just wind up in a land fill and pollute the planet and waste space where other things could be. i think that EVERYTHING should just be recycled there really is no use for land fills all the garbage can be burned or recycled. Yes the gases from the burning garbage may pollute the earth but it won't pollute it as much as it is right now.
