www.naturalawakenings.com/2022/02/28/389232/the-411-on-styrofoam-why-we-should-just-say-no"Because it is heat-resistant, extremely lightweight and relatively sturdy, Styrofoam is commonly used for takeout food and beverage containers, egg cartons, craft materials, home insulation and product packaging. The harm it causes to human health and the planet outweighs its convenience, however, and a growing number of cities in Asia, Europe and the U.S. have banned its use, including Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, New York City and Washington, D.C...." My notes: Styrofoam is one of the hardest things to recycle. The ones that come in packaging are easier as we have some places that can recycle. But they won't take those that were for food, even if washed off.

Styrofoam is stupid! It should be banned.
