    I get what you’re trying to say about homeless people, and there are many people reliant on collecting plastic bottles in Germany too, but motivation in that context sounds a tad off imo

      Annoying? Am I the only one who thinks it’s more convenient? The cap cannot fall, you can open it one handed, you cannot lose the cap…

      I’m not saying its good that homeless people rely on collecting bottles. But the fact they have cash value means they will collect them and feed them back into the system. So less litter and more recycling.

        No, I get that. Just the word “motivation” seems off in this context. I’m all for having deposits on plastic bottles and cans - it’s free money (girl math 💅🏻) - I just didn’t like that word in that context
