The PIRG model was proposed in the book ''Action for a Change'' by Ralph Nader and Donald Ross. Among other early accomplishments, the PIRGs were responsible for much of the Container Container Deposit Legislation in the United States, also known as "bottle bills."〔(【引用サイトリンク】Boston College ">url=http://newspapers.bc.edu/cgi-bin/bostonsh?a=d&d=bcheights19750922.2.30 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】Sun Sentinel ">url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1991-11-08/news/9102150529_1_bottle-bill-beverage-containers-industry-recycling-program )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Illinois PIRG」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
