Stop Using Styrofoam Plates in School Lunch

The Issue

School all over the country is using Styrofoam plate for school lunch.  However as Styrofoam takes one million years to decompose naturally incineration is a common practice, which releases many toxic chemicals into the environment that damages ozone layer, pollutes water and air, causes cancer and other diseases.

We'd like schools to make a change using organic plates, such as those made from sugarcane, which can decompose naturally in three months and be returned into soil as fertilizer.
