Stop Making Styrofoam, Which Never Breaks Down

To: The President of the United States, The U.S. Senate and The U.S. House, see more...

Started by: M F

While plastic takes thousand(s) of years to disintegrate, styrofoam never does. It will break down into small pieces, but will always remain there, eventually leaving piles of the material on the planet's lands and waters. An alternative material must be used!

Styrofoam Never Dissolves

Dear Representative,

The world may end when we humans make too much styrofoam and plastics. Styrofoam never breaks down, while plastics take 1 thousand+ years to disintegrate. Do we want our lands and waters eventually filled with this material? We must start using alternate resources.
