In Michigan we have had $0.10 deposit on beer bottles and pop(soda) bottles for a long time. It appears to extremely successful. You never see bottles littered anywhere, they are always picked up by someone in need.
Gas station garbage can a frequently sorted through for returnables.
School programs like band and sports teams will have bottle drives where they send the kids around through the neighborhood and collect bottles. It is a very successful fundraising method for them.

1) Cash for clunkers taking old dangerous cars off the road so the fleet consists of more newer safer cars
or;
2) People driving less since the recession and the gas price increases

It reminds me a lot of the app "Circa" on iOS. IT the same sort of snippets for news. An interesting way to display research. Also, really nice looking.
