163 Leslie DavidsonNot only is Styrofoam unrecyclable, at high heat it leaches toxins into the food it contains.
164 Phyllis AndrewsLet's do it!
165 AnonymousYes, let's make our world better and stimulate commerce by developing a new and better way to store take out food. Relying on market forces to do this won't work in this case.
166 Barbara EarnestAlso, small pieces of styrofoam (like snibbles) get airborne and because a huge trash issue. Thank you for this bill!

174 George K. Tulloch, Jr.Thank you for finally trying to ban this ecologically ruinous and envirnmentally poisonous waste. A vote to ban styrofoam is a vote for sustaining a global environment. hospitable to human life.

177 Amy HarlibStopping the use of styrofoam will help save the planet. I think we'd all want to do that!
178 Karen FalkI am excited that legislators will act to ban this pernicious pollutant. Its negative properties have been known for years. It is about time to protect our environment from styrofoam.

195 Elizabeth RoyteLet's stop using styrofoam trays, but know that the plant-based trays won't biodegrade unless we get them to a commercial composting operation.
196 Lili Grudzien
197 William StorrsLet's ban this problem, before it gets worse enough to the point where we can't do anything more.
198 Marguerite DoddI have been waiting for this!!! This is the best new's I've heard in a LONG time! Lets get 'em New York State
199 Ron PaulsenI also don't think we as New Yorkers or we as Americans should simply stop at styrofoam. Paper and plastic bags should also be banned. The amount of pollution and money saved if every american family purchased a few re-usable bags would have an incredible impact on our country and our planet!
