Support a National Container Deposit Scheme 

5/4/2013

"Environment ministers will soon be making a decision on how to stop 8 billion beverage containers being landfilled or littered every year.

There's a solution – a 10cent Recycle Refund scheme."

With the environment ministers meeting next week on 11 April we have reached a crucial point in the Container Deposit campaign.  

We are pushing for a firm undertaking about a national CDS.  This is essential because the industry are pressing for an indefinite delay - which would allow Coca Cola to win.  So we need maximum pressure on your Environment Minister. Send them a strong message!
