Bring back deposit on bottles

I would like for the government to bring back deposit on bottles. Plastic or glass! Following other countries "green scheme", or going back to the roots because the UK used to have a deposit scheme, back in the days.

Why is this important?

For several reasons, I find this is important. Look around you, streets, parks, fields coast lines... all littered with empty and left behind bottles of any shape, size and form. The environment suffers, the costs to clean up the litter is a burden to the local councils, so it effects us all, because the extra costs reflect in our council tax. It would be an incentive for people of all ages and backgrounds, to be more environmentally conscious. Other countries, like Germany, have had this scheme for years, and even extended it to drinking cans. The UK should follow suit. Please sign the petition, if you agree.
