St. Maarten Private Eye

Flipper, I agree with you.
I would support the beer that starts the refund and deposit system.. That beer importer would become my beer of choice. Funny thing is yesterday someone told me that what is the use of selling plastic bracelets? Plastic will end up at the landfill anyway eventually. And what will Nature foundation do with the monies? Will they be then picking up all discared Heineken beer bottles from the streets and sending them back for recycling?
So Heineken gets away with selling plastic bracelets for 2 nature groups and they can continue neglecting the fact that the green bottles are littering our streets and beaches?
I do not buy it, neither do the smart sxm people.
From this money that nature foundation will be making, how much of this money will be going directly to eliminating the littered beer bottle problem?
I would much rather prefer to pay Heineken $2.- and they make sure that they send the empty bottles back to Holland or to an island in the Caribbean that can re-use the bottles, such as TING in Jamaica did for years.
