Recycling paper, cardboard, plastic etc is also unfeasible but that doesnt stop us from recycling it as well...
I tend not to use styrofoam cups either, but I also dont buy paper cups, plates etc.. My point is, as long as they are economically feasible, and their use widly acceptable, then I've got no problem with it.
if they're outraged by styrofoam now, i can't wait to see what happens when they hear this...
Funny!
"Cue the liberal outrage: House Republicans' decision to do away with the Capitol's biodegradable paper products and replace them with cheaper styrofoam cups is enriching--wait for it--a former executive with Koch Industries. George Wurtz is the owner of WinCup, which is now supplying the House lunchroom with its polluting styrofoam cups. Wurtz used to work for Koch Industries, the liberal bete noir whose leaders have emerged as the tycoons Democrats love to hate. Huffington Post reporter Elise Foley points out that House Republicans didn't pick the purveyor; that decision was made by Restaurant Associates, the firm that manages the House cafeteria. Not that that's going to stop a stream of indignant press releases from House Democrats, who gleefully slammed Republicans for their promotion of "the environmentally disastrous use of styrofoam."
Gotta love democrats, looking out for us little people.
If Styrofoam cups are such a hazard to human life, why not ban them entirely, instead of engaging in a letter writing campaign to to simply have them removed from their House cafeteria? I guess we little people can go on ingesting cancerous substances from Styrofoam, as long as they keep them clear from their cafeteria.
