Answer 1

Let's analyze each statement:

A. The Florida legislature is considering adding a refundable deposit to beverages sold in recyclable containers. - This is a statement of fact about a potential action, so it's False (Non-debatable).

B. Increasing the refundable deposit for recyclable glass bottles and aluminum cans will encourage more people to recycle. - This is an opinion or prediction about behavior and can be debated; hence, it is True (debatable).

C. Using a metal water bottle is one thing the average person can do to keep plastics out of landfills. - This is a recommendation that implies a preferred action but isn't inherently debatable as a point of fact; it could be seen as False (Non-debatable).

D. One major university reduced its overall waste output by 62% through a recycling and composting program. - This statement presents a specific fact that can be verified; thus, it is also False (Non-debatable).

So the overall judgment is:

• A: False (Non-debatable)
• B: True (debatable)
• C: False (Non-debatable)
• D: False (Non-debatable)

The statement that is debatable is B.
