Styrofoam never decomposes. Why should we put our excess on the shoulders of future generations when we can solve the problem now?

Please ban styrofoam in Albany County. Plenty of alternative packaging materials are available for use by local and regional businesses who sell take-out food and drinks.

If its not recycled or recyclable it doesn't belong in the waste stream. Look a the mountain created in Albany off Washington Ave Extension. Approximately two-thirds of it could have been recycled.

Styrofoam winds up in landfills and along the side of the road, contributing to pollution and posing a potential threat to animals. There's no reason to continue using this material, especially since there are now many healthier, biodegradable alternatives.
