From http://www.sierraclubmass.org/:
The Bottle Bill is the state’s most successful recycling and litter prevention program. Since the Bottle Bill's inception in 1983, over 30 billion containers have been redeemed, contributing to a healthier environment, cleaner and safer communities, and a stronger economy. But to keep up with the times and consumer’s tastes, the bottle bill must be updated.
An Updated Bottle Bill would expand our container deposit system to include “new age” drinks such as non-carbonated beverages, water, iced tea, juice, and sports drinks. It would add approximately $20 million to state revenue via projected unclaimed deposits. It would decrease litter - and increase recycling.
An estimated 20 billion “new-age” beverages are consumed annually in the US, and this number is only expected to increase. As consumers purchase more of these beverages, an increasing number of containers are finding their way to landfills -- an estimated 69,000 tons nationwide.
To help update the bottle bill:
Come to the Rally and Press Conference:
Oct 7, 2009, 9am, State House, Bowdoin St. entrance.
Come to the Hearings:
Oct 7, 2009, 10am, State House, Room 1a.

The Earth Moves is a short documentary that examines the role of science and
religion in our society through the lens of Bertolt Brecht’s play “Life of Galileo.” The film
follows the trials and elations of a small theater company experimenting with such visually
dramatic elements as 10-ft puppets, carnival masks, and murals drenched with symbolism to
bring Brecht's vision of Galileo to life.
Galileo Galilei was a 17th-century astronomer who rocked Roman Catholic civilization when
he hypothesized that, contrary to widespread belief, the earth revolved around the sun. Due to
overwhelming pressure from church, state, and others in society who refused to accept that
Earth was not the center of the universe, Galileo eventually publicly recanted his views.
The film brings critical perspective to the controversial issue of evolution as it entertains the
ways in which Galileo's dilemma lives on today. Through in-depth discussions with scientists,
artists and religious scholars, the film modernizes the eternal conflict between spirituality and
reason that defined Galileo Galilei’s life and times, and ultimately shaped his destiny.
The filmmakers are Julie Adler, Sarah Brett, Ann Cowan,...
