	Oregon Bottle Bill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Oregon Bottle Bill of 1971 was the first container deposit legislation passed in the United States.
		Prior to the 1940s returnable bottles were the norm because it was cheaper for bottling companies to collect and wash old bottle than buy new ones.
		Because of an attempt by Vermont legislators to approve a bottle bill in 1953, a political group was formed between the breweries, soft drink makers, and glass and metal industries.

		As someone who also lives in Oregon, I can say this: pronouncing it like the word "Organ", or as "Or-eh-gun" ("eh" being the "e" sound in the words "bet", "pet", etc), is a pretty safe way to not be considered a tourist.

		Oregon has indeed been on the forefront of addressing various environmental issues like the bottle bill, being one of the first states to have no private beaches, an unusually high percentage of national forest land, etc. There's no reason not to mention these, albiet possibly in a less emotive way.

	Bottle Bill Basics
		Oregon passed the first refundable-deposit law in 1971, followed by Vermont in 1972, Maine and Michigan in 1976, Iowa and Connecticut in 1978, Massachusetts in 1981, Delaware and New York in 1982, California in 1986 and Hawaii in 2002.
		By claiming that bottles and cans account for an insignificant portion of roadside litter—they put the amount at as little as 6 percent—they bolster their argument that bottle bills have no real impact on the problem.
		It's easy to focus on the litter-control value of bottle bills, but in many ways their most far-reaching impact is on recycling rates and the conservation of natural resources.
