We, SFDCI staff, students, and friends, understand the dangers of Styrofoam food service ware on environmental and human health. We ask Brown's Fine Food Services, Inc. to replace all Styrofoam food service ware in the SFDCI cafeteria with recyclable and biodegradable/compostable ware.

Here are our reasons:
1. Commonly known as Styrofoam, Polystyrene cannot break down, and has been found to contain and leak toxic chemicals into food, and our earth. These chemicals include CHC's, ethylene, benzene, and styrene
2. Chemical in Styrofoam can leach into food, particularly hot food, then entering and harming humans. Some of these chemicals are believed to be carcinogens, as well as causing depression and nerve damage.
3. One of the most littered items in the world, Styrofoam can seriously harm and kill wildlife in our area, as it easily breaks into small pieces, yet never truly decomposes. The chemicals in Styrofoam contribute to Global warming and smog.

The SFDCI community cares about the environment, and the health of students and staff members. SFDCI uses approximately 24, 250 Styrofoam plates a year; this small change can have a huge impact on our well-being.
