Passage 3

What do you do with your empty cans and bottles? There are two choices，throwing them away or recycling．Throwing away a metal beverage container wastes as much energy as filling a can with gasoline and pouring half out． Besides wasting energy，throwing away bottles a11d cans causes pollution，increases the volume of solid wastes，and uses up natural resources. To control these problems，only nine states have adopted bottle laws．The United States governrnent should require every state to have a bottle law or constitute a national bottle law·

To understand how a bottle law can help，you must know how it works. When consumers buy canned or bottled beverages at the store，they pay deposits．This deposit can range from twenty to fifty cents per bottle or can．In order to get this deposit back, the bottles and cans must be returned to supermarkets after they are emptied．The supermarkets then return the bottles and cans to their manufacturers for either reuse or recycling． 。’

Bottle laws are currently effective in Oregon，Vermont，Maine，Michigan，Iowa，Connecticut， Delaware, Massachusetts,and New York．These laws work largely because the general public supports them．A recent poll(民意测验) of Americans revealed that 73 percent support bottle laws。This support undoubtedly results from people’s concern about pollution and our planet slimited resources．
