As market driven as the US is, I'm surprised they haven't adopted more EU ideas to keep things tidy. The euro to get a shopping cart tends to keep parking lots clean.
I went to an event in Germany once that had re-usable plastic beer mugs. 5 euro/beer with 1 euro back for the mug. They were also easily stackable, so if you saw a mug on the ground you would pick up. 5 mugs == free beer. Simple idea using money that kept the event relatively clean given the number of people partying.
- quickthrowman 1y agoThe only store in the US where carts aren’t a problem is Aldi specifically because a cart deposit is $0.25
- yupitsme123 1y agoThe deposit on cans and bottles in some states seems to work perfectly with little to no cost. I'm sure it could work with plastic bags.
