Garden Club seeks your support on Bottle Bill

Please consider signing the final petition required to place updating the Bottle Bill on this November’s ballot.  About 22,000 signatures from registered Massachusetts voters must be collected before June 7 to do this.

To make this as easy as possible, simply drive to Milton Public Library this afternoon, Monday, June 2nd from 2-6pm and Friday,  June 6 from 2-5:30pm.  Milton Garden Club volunteers with clipboards will be curbside to gather your LEGIBLE signature(s).  

Contrary to some thinking, the 5-cent deposit is not a consumer tax but, rather, an incentive to recycle and is 100% refundable upon redemption.  Updating the Bottle Bill this November makes sense in environmental, economic, energy, and aesthetic ways. Please add our drive-through petition dates to your calendar, your cell phone or post a note on your fridge!  And then, come November, get to the polls and VOTE to update the Bottle Bill.  Other states are watching us (so is the beverage/bottling industry), and future generations will thank us so… drive through and sign on!
