Polystyrene foam, such as Styrofoam, never biodegrades. It stays in our landfills forever. The material may erode, but the chemical makeup will never return to nature. Biodegradable oxi-foam is organic and better for the environment. Styrofoam is rarely recycled in a burning facility, so every piece of the foam discarded in landfills remain there forever. If we continue overusing the material Styrofoam in our everyday lives, it will later on build up in landfills and take up too much space. Styrofoam has harmful effects on both the environment, and also the humans and animals. Humans working to produce Styrofoam are exposed to styrene, which hurts the central nervous system. Styrofoam takes up more space than any junk in the world, including paper. Please reduce Styrofoam production, for the planet and for the people. For more information, visit toxicfoam.weebly.com.
