What do you do???
I try to ride a bike here and there. Maybe only 10% of what I could be doing if conditions were safe. I'm willing to reduce meat intake by 50%. I would bring back my bottles/cans if they had buy back program. I may try to consume more organic products. Agriculture poisons the ground waters, right?

Prove this by showing the fraudulent papers, the retractions, and the genuine results. Don't bother showing me denialist blogs, any dolt can write whatever they want on a blog. I don't take the authors of denialist blogs any more seriously than I do the author of your posts.

Are you telling me that beverage bottles and cans are not returnable where you live?....That is insane.

Hey, only a handful of states practice that. The rest goes to feed the landfills and litter the streets.

Efforts to pass container deposit legislation in the 39 states that do not have them are often politically contentious. The U.S. beverage container industry --- including both the bottlers of water, soda, beer, and the corporate owners of grocery stores and convenience stores --- often spends large amounts of money lobbying against the introduction of both new and amended beverage container deposit legislation.

I'm hoping this is a success...
