- Contact your State Representative and State
Senator today urging them to support the update – and ask your friends
and neighbors to do the same
- Come to the hearings! A big turnout will
help the bills passage. The hearing date will be posted here.
- Offer written testimony for the hearings.
This is especially important if your work or study is related to
recycling.
- Send a letter to the editor of your local
paper. We have many sample letters to inspire you. Local newspapers want
to hear from residents on this type of issue! Email me and I’ll send you
a few examples.
- Contact non-profits who use bottle and can
drives to support their programs
- Scouts, school athletic programs, social
service non-profits across the state use bottle and can drives to
supplement their budget. Let those in your area know that they need to
contact their legislators.
- Put up our poster
on your community bulletin boards
- We’ve designed some flyers for posting in
supermarkets, laundromats, and community notice boards. Just print out
the poster, grab some thumbtacks, and go!
