    I always liked the can-ban of PEI. You didn't have cans, we didn't have bottles ;)

    A lot of people did. People are up in arms over the deposit now too :eek: Some people thought the bottles were better for the environment.

    For years when people went to the mainland they would bring back cans. I talked to my mum tonight and she said people were having can parties... couldn't even keep the stuff on the shelf. :o

    I swear it isn't as backwards as it sounds :p


    Wow what an interesting and funny story. :)

    Come is a verb"

    They did but you got the whole deposit back... but now with cans you will only get part of your deposit back. Also they charge you for your recycling and THEN sell the items off island. Oh well.

    The Pepsi Bottling Group bought out Seaman's a few years back but probably just a matter of time before that downsizes as well.

    can you canoe up the Atlantic to PEI? Yes, canoes...ain't got the money for a boat.

    I got shitloads of beer cans near my garbage. :p


    :D This is starting to sound like the famous Beer Can Regatta and Henley On Todd where the boats are made of cans. :D

    Perhaps PEI could put the empty cans to the same good use? :p:D

    They should now conduct a study on the effects of glass v.s. aluminum and see what turns up...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    plastic is nasty... Why not just use glass is what I'm wondering. So much plastic in the world....aluminum causes Alzheimers...

    sigh...just melt me up some good beach sand already.

    $$$ over health issues...big corps... grr...
