Returnable Bottles?

Really cant give up fizzy drinks but dont want to buy them in poison plastic bottles? Think using a container once then throwing it away is a profligate waste? Well move to Huddersfield where we have lemonade and other stuff in  returnable glass bottles. I know it sounds a crazy idea but in the olden days people used to reuse bottles all the time. These days of course we throw the plastic bottle away, but there are still some reusable bottles out there. Ben Shaws fizzy drinks come in one litre, glass, returnable bottles with a 20p deposit. And they sell Dandelion and Burdock. The greengrocers and newsagents on Westbourne Road Marsh stock them and I am sure there are others.
