Attempt to Ban Styrofoam: Usage Log
Polystyrene (aka Styrofoam) is one of my biggest recycling challenges and considered a waste nuisance. Whether is comes from packaging or fast-food restaurants, its a problem. I would like to ban Styrofoam from my life, but its so hard. I thought if I used my SIGG bottle more, then I wouldn’t have to use Styrofoam. My biggest weakness was the drive-thru, especially Sweet Tea from Chick-fil-a, Oliver’s and Donzelle’s. However, when I go to a fast-food joint or get take-out - there are no other alternatives. I have even taken the time today to contact Chick-Fil-A about my issue. I thought, well why can’t I bring my own cup? They do it at the gas station and Starbucks for coffee, why not BYOC (bring your own cup) for soda and sweet tea? Hopefully someone will get smart and start this trend and I will hopefully hear back from Chick-fil-a.
