I'm a huge fan of Sonic and their burgers. What I'm not a huge fan of is their continued use of Styrofoam cups. Styrofoam cups stay in the environment for years and the material is notorious for breaking up into pieces that choke animals and clog their digestive system. Even if you have the inclination to recycle Styrofoam most curbside recyclers wouldn't take it.

Not only do these cups have an adverse effect on the environment but also human beings. Styrofoam has been classified as a possible human carcinogen by the EPA and by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Consuming a liquid that is sitting in a possible cancer causing vessel is a unnecessary risk this day and age.

The negatives associated with this material far outweigh the benefits. Many other restaurants have made the switch to paper cups; I ask that Sonic does the same.

Please forward this to all your family and friends! Cancer and the environment affect everyone!!! Thank you so much!!!
