Go Home Styrofoam

For the activist group project my group decided to address the issue of styrofoam containers in the cafeteria. Styrofoam is horrible for the environment. It can take up to 500 years to naturally decompose. To raise awareness we each made a large poster the size of a piece of bristol board. We placed these around the cafeteria in the residence building. They are meant to encourage people to either bring their own plates from their rooms or ask for a plate instead of styrofoam containers from the cafeteria. The people who work in the cafeteria never give you the option of using a plate over the containers you have to ask for it. Today I did see a few people in the cafeteria using plates rather than styrofoam containers and this shows that a few people can make a difference.
