For VPIRG's 2021 Virtual Canvass, we are reaching out to build support for modernizing Vermont's most effective recycling program--the Bottle Bill!
Earlier this year, the VT House passed H.175, which would expand the Bottle Bill to cover more containers like water, sports drinks, and wine. We expect the Senate to take the bill up in January 2022.
Between now and then, the big beverage and waste industries are going to use corporate dollars to ramp up their opposition tactics. It's going to call for some serious people-power to defeat them- which is why we're asking you to renew your membership now and help us ensure victory.
We know how much you love canvass visits at the door. So do we! But if you renew online today, you will allow us to recruit even more new members to our grassroots movement. We are particularly grateful for your continued support as we prepare for a return to our beloved door canvass!
