Subject: Please support styrofoam ban Date (...V.;//�
I am writing to show my full support of a styrofoam ban.These containers take way too long to break down in the
landfill if they make it there, often end up polluting the ocean and other water ways, are dangerous for birds,fish and
other species who consume them, and are bi-products of petroleum,furthering our dependency on fossil fuel.Our state
should be leading the progress towards sustainable, more environmentally friendly products and practices, and this
styrofoam ban is without question a huge step in the right direction.
Sincerely,
Marya Szaur
