I've suggested that people donate large jugs instead.
And Michigan has a 10-cent bottle deposit. Cashing all those bottles in might be a great way to start a Flint relief fund!

It hasn't been completely ignored. But it certainly is one of those 'unintended consequences' RWers used to warn us about.
