Hmmm mate... You gave me a brilliant idea!

In my country (Romania) was introduced from 30th November 2023 a "money-back system" for PET, tin can and glass packaging product. It means we need to pay more 0.5 RON (around $0.12) for every product we buy and it is in these types of packaging (like Cola, water, milk, beer, etc...), and we can return these recipients in special "smart bins" to get our money back.

In my city thy system (but in another way) was implemented much sooner (around 2 years ago)... we got 1 bus ticket (6 RON value) for every 15 recycled recipient. So, my city have an open minded city management.

Based on your comment, I will talk about one of my good friends (who is city councilor) to talk with mayor about the possibility to develop this money-back system, and implement the possibility to get our money back in satoshis ;)

I think it is not very difficult and costly to implement this system...

What do you think about?

Btw...here is the "smart bin" who get us money back :)
