This is my new blog. My old one was about so cial/cultural political issues. This one will include all of that, but will focus on styrofoam. Has anyone ( over 40) noticed how so many items once made of waxed cardboard are now made of styrofoam? I have been cleaning the confluence of Boggy creek and Tannehill branch for over ten years and I have noticed a huge increase of styrofoam in the waste stream. Styrofoam is particularly insidious because it breaks down to such small pieces cleaning is extremely difficult if the litter is not picked-up before it starts to break apart. There are people ( myself included) who are beginning to lobby for a beverage container deposit law which will address a large part of our litter problem but we will need imagination to tackle this one. Obviously I want styrofoam to insulate fresh blood as it travels from one medical facilty to another. I do not see why all take-out food, all soda, all coffee needs to be in styrofoam. Inshort, no more styrofoam!
