I bet you've drinken out of a Styrofoam cup in your life. You probably just threw it away when you were done like it was no different than a paper or plastic one, or in some rude peoples' cases, littered and threw it on the ground. Well, little might you have known that Styrofoam cups don't dissolve in the Earth eventually like other materials do. It just sits there. Useless. Taking up space. Therefore, it is negligent to the environment. You CAN recycle Styrofoam, like you can paper, but it is diffucult to and takes a LONG time and is also hard to find someone who will actually do it. Styrofoam also lasts virtually forever, or at least much, much longer than we'll live to be, vs. paper, where you can recycle it a lot easier and more and it will dissolve faster. This useless material ALSO contains CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons), which is very bad for the environment. In the end, Styrofoam is harmful to the Ozone. The Ozone, as you may know, is a form of oxygen containing three molecules (usually found in the stratoshere) and is responsible for filtering out much of the sun's dangerous ultraviolet radiation - the stuff that we put on sunscreen for. See, if we use Styrofoam, slowly but surely, it ruins the Ozone layer. That means that we can get sunburn so much easier, which can lead to skin cancer and cataracts if you get too much of it. And sure, you can load youself up with a lot more sunscreen, but if the Ozone layer gets to the point of degradation it's headed to, that won't do anything.
Most companies that sell their drinks in Styrofoam cups do it because it's cheaper, but if that means hurting our children's family in the future by the sun, which would you choose? There are some more ways you can help the environment by not using Styrofoam or other things that contain harmful CFCs if you go to http://www.lunaeterna.net/cgk/ozone.htm
Please take the time to think about this.
Styrofoam cups, or our future?
