Comments on: City Continues Steps in the Green Direction http://www.pcbdaily.com/city-continues-steps-in-the-green-direction Panama City Beach Information, news, and updates including Pier Park and the Panama City Airport Sat, 11 Feb 2012 04:10:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Carolyn King http://www.pcbdaily.com/city-continues-steps-in-the-green-direction#comment-15912 Carolyn King Tue, 28 Jul 2009 12:40:21 +0000 http://pcbdaily.com/?p=5096#comment-15912 Panama City Beach should be pushing State Legislators to mandate deposits be put on all beer and pop cans and bottles state wide. When you pay a deposit on these items the empty cans and bottles become something of value. People want their money back so they return them to the store for cash and the items get recycled. Even if left on the beach during Spring Break they are worth something to someone and people will pick them up and turn them in for money. It's a win win situation. Why our state hasn't done this is beyone me. If they are soooo eager to go green this is about as easy as it gets. A real no brainer.

are worth something to someone and people will pick them
up and turn them in for money.

It’s a win win situation. Why our state hasn’t done this
is beyone me.

If they are soooo eager to go green this is about as easy as it gets. A real no brainer.
