Stop using styrofoam trays.


Stop using styrofoam trays.
The Issue
Styrofoam is terrible for our environment and our kids, let's get it out of Montgomery County, MD cafeterias.
- An EPA report on solid waste named the polystyrene manufacturing process as the 5th largest creator of hazardous waste. The process of making polystyrene pollutes the air and creates large amounts of liquid and solid waste, including greenhouse gas and harmful to the ozone layer.
- Toxic chemicals leach out of these products into the food that they contain (especially when heated in a microwave). These chemicals threaten human health and reproductive systems.
- These products are made with petroleum, a non-sustainable and heavily polluting resource.
