The Denver-Boulder area of Colorado is diverse and offers a lot of local produce options. It is wonderful to walk through the local farmer’s markets, meeting farmers and supporting their work by buying the produce. There is nothing quite like a fresh Colorado peach. We love living here and supporting local companies. We strive to live green in our daily life, through recycling, using re-usable containers, buying less packaged items, and shopping local thrift stores. You can find other green living information on my blog:

    Hello. My name is Jeff Blitstein and I am passionate about recycling. I am a recent grad from CU, with my MPA and MBA and was curious about why Colorado does not have a bottle bill. I know there was a bottle bill proposed in 2004 but was never passed and not too sure why.

    Could you please help me with that information? as I would like to have a Bottle Bill in Colorado.

    Thank you,

    Jeff
