Styrofoam is bad ...really really bad

Nothing bugs me more than Styrofoam. This Frankenstein-style petroleum based product disgusts me. It is both harmful to humans, the environment and is made from a non- sustainable resource. I am sorry but, there is nothing positive I can say about it.

Did you know that when used as a food/drink container, toxic chemicals can leak into your food or drink? It doesn't biodegrade in landfills and when it is made it releases harmful chemicals into the air (57 possible toxic chemicals to be exact).

Instead of using Styrofoam, look for products that either contain biodegradable materials, can be recycled or made from recycled materials.
