Yes I would

Why wouldn't you

Firsttttttttttttt tttttttttttttttttttttttoooooooooooooooooooooooo comment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would as long as people washed their bottles before having them back again.

It is really important that we recycle our bottles.

I don’t see why people wouldn’t do this, it is a good start to reducing plastic waste and people get the extra money they payed for the bottle back.

I had a hot chocolate the other day that had a paper cup but it was then coated in this plasticky cover which meant it wasn't recyclable I have no idea why they still do that knowing that everyone who buys one is going to just pollute the earth. Do they even know what they are causing?

I think that idea is really good though!!!!!????

First to comment brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We should use the return scheme, because it will help save lots of animals lives and help the environment while also creating a reward scheme for people who don’t normally recycle.

I would not return a bottle for money. I would rather recycle it myself. Just to be sure

I think that we should definitely think environmentally friendly and try to recycle as much as possible

I would return bottles as the original price of the drinks would have gone up. Therefore, you are helping the environment while earning back part of the money you paid for the drink.

Yes I would, it sounds like a great idea, but just because it worked in other countries doesn’t mean it would work in ours. Only problem for us, they will cost more, but that may reduce the amount of people buying them, thus less plastic used. It’s good that the government are taking actions on how to protect the environment. 13 billion bottles a year! Wow, that’s more than the people on Earth! In just the UK! We need to fix this. Go the UK!

Yes because you aren’t buying the bottle you are buying the water. The bottle is something to hold the water. The water is a vital part of our diet but doing that we are throwing away the plastic and killing animals in the sea.

Yes I would if I got some of my money back because that money could be used to give to charities who help the environment.

I would say yes, bottles can affect the waters, which means species of animals can die out and become extinct. Sadly, only 1 in 5 plastic bottles are recycled. If they're bought back, then we can save species, and then we can be happy.

I’d do anything to look after the animals, so yes, but it would be quite a faff, day if you wanted to buy a Ribera and then you took it home and drink it - does it mean you have to go all the way back to the shop to give it back? And what if you lived really far away?? But if it would save animals I’d definitely do it!!

I think that it’s a very good idea but I would prefer it if they were a little bit clearer on how you can return them, overall it’s a great way of dealing with this big worldwide problem.

I think that it is a brilliant idea and will have a large impact on the environment because people do not want to lose money!

I think it is a good idea because it will encourage people to recycle plastic.

I think we should because we are not helping are planet if we are killing even the most common animals.

I think its a good idea because there is waaaaaay too much plastic everywhere.

im #frst2comnt

By doing this we are saving the Environment and by saving the Environment we are making this world a better place for everyone.

Yes I would because 10 and 20ps can add up to lots of money and it is good for the enviroment.

why would you not want your money back? #first2comments

I would, but I think that the government is waisting money on thing that we should do anyway.

I would return bottles back because of two reasons. Firstly, if you are spending money a lot for various things such as family birthday presents, outfits for dancing or maybe even things for yourself, parents, or us children, can receive some savings, even if it's only 10p or 20p. Secondly, after reading First News and discovering that only, at least a quarter of the bottles do not get recycled and are dumped in the oceans. This will be bad for the fish if they get some of it and it will affect us because if we catch that same fish and eat it, we will also be affected by the plastic. I vote for a YES!

It would be better for the world.

First to comment

Yes definitely

Sure! Why not? You get money back, it helps save our oceans, and it might stop litter! So I think it’s a great plan!

Yeah! It's good for the environment, of course I would

This is a step further into the greatest society
ever ! In my humble opinion on this matter,recycling has its biggest problem yet .This is its biggest opportunity to solve this matter .So grab it by the head and take it.

I said yes because returning bottles save animals and you would still get money back. Even if it made the drinks cost more, it would only be a tiny bit more.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA BECAUSE IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET A REWARD FOR RECYCLING AND HELPING OUR PLANET.

3 Points:
1) I love animals so anything to help them would be great for me!
2) when I am allowed to get fizzy drinks/ sugary drinks they aren't that cheap so giving money back would encourage people to return their cans and bottles.
3) A raised tax is a good idea because people would want to spend less on unhealthy drinks.
Anything like that is a yes to me.

I think ? that some people will pick up the litter to get the money ?????and the more people pick up the litter the less animals will get extinct !!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????☘️☘️???????????????????☀️?????????????????????????????use a:?if you agree !!annnnnd I was the first to comment

I think the deposit scheme is a good idea because it gives people the choice to save money and save the environment at the same time with less plastic in circulation.

yes I think that is a good idea because other people can use your bottles other than the company making more so its better for environment

I said yes because it pollutes the oceans way to much and you never know in 10 years we may not even have fish to eat.!

It also kills so many animals
:(

I half think it is a good idea but on the other hand, what actually happens with the recycling? Lots of used plastic gets made into garden furniture and that’s RECYCLED plastic! How many people want garden furniture?! Ok yes, it can be useful but when a plastic chair breaks it probably just goes to landfill!

I would because it could help Global Warming and prevent it going further than it has already

I'd definitely would! Plus... why wouldn't you want to at least try to make Earth a much cleaner place by just by returning a simple bottle? You also get MONEY for it. But i hope that people return their bottles cleaned instead of dirty if we do have this system up and running.

I think this is a good idea and lots of people would do it. But is saving our planet for future generations not a good enough incentive?

I think it is a great idea because it is terrible how plastic is polluting our world and getting stuck in the sea. Now, I think that people would make an effort to get their money while recycling at the same time. So, you are killing two birds with one stone.

I would definitely do this even not for money why do the government need to pay you for something that you should be doing normally but I would definitely do it then you could give the money to charities and that would do even more good?

I would return a plastic bottle to get money back because what is the use of a used bottle? It is a good idea.

Its a good scheme but that means the house would get cluttered, they should have them on the high street to reduce rubbish there

Great idea, lets fight against plastic in are seas!

Yes I would,because it would be good for the environment and save money.

It is helping the environment so why not? Also, it would be saving hundreds of animals; even the most common ones! Whenever you go to the beach and a wave comes in, loads of plastic bottles wash up on the shore - this is not fair on any animal whatsoever. We as humans need to protect these beautiful creatures; not kill them with our rubbish!

Yes because it would be helping the environment

I voted definatly yes!!!!

Yes I would because here in Germany when we go to the checkout we pay 25 P more than the total price so when we return the bottles in the recycling machine we get 25 P back.

If you don't want us to sort out the plastic problem then you should because otherwise our animals could die and we eat animals so then we would get less food and then we would die so the world would be a huge mess and we would not be able to sort it out.

YASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would encourage this as it also not just helps the animals but reduces the amount of rubbish.

Yes i would as animals are dead only because people are being lazy and they cant just put there litter in a bin.

Also if people think that we wont have meat as a lot of people don't eat meat like me and people breed animals so us humans will be fed.

Yes. Parents would be happy.

Of course for the money and as long as their are washed.

That would be cruel ?if you kept doing it because they keep getting stuck and also they're not doing
anything to you

I think no because I am not going to carry a bottle bag in the middle of a shopping centre!
I think we just need to use can-o-bottles like they do at ZSL London zoo!

We want to reduce the amount of plastic we use to save the planet!!!!!!?????

?yup

We're helping out the environment which is good, so??????????????????

Why not?

Saves the environment, so why not?

Yes I would so I can get a few p and help the planet

YES!!!! it would save our planet and i would not do it for the money but for the environment!

I would so!!! I mean, anything to save the planet, pollution has got to go...

I wouldn't because you could just recycle ♻️ them yourself

I get moneyz then go to wilko when the pix and mic is on half price

Of course I would! Helping out the environment for money? Help and be helped? Those are my morals! ?

I'm so glad that they're doing this, plastic bottles are killing our Earth and replacing amazing marine life. So, definitely, yes.

Yes, why not if it means you are helping the earth and getting money it's a double bonus so why not?!

I wouldn't return bottles to get money back, because it would mean going to the shops nearly every day, and I bet you would only get a small amount of money for returning them.

Maybe. I mean, if you pay for something it would be great to earn part of your money back. It's not so good idea for people that are travelling to a holiday. They would stop and buy drinks then carry on while drinking. They aren't going to turn around for an extra 10p! My final answer is maybe.

YES THAT WOULD BE GREAT

I’m too busy to return bottles and plus where would the money come from

I think you should because it will encourage recycling more often.

I've got a ride on tractor with a trailer and i could go around the local streets and pick up the bottles from peoples houses and save the fuss of taking them to the shop and i would do it but i get the money!

yeah, I mean more money, end it there peeps!

Yeah yes yep Ye yes I would ?????

Why not if you get money back I think it's a perfect deal
