RECYCLE STYROFOAM? NOT SO FAST! Holiday season is often filled with gifts in cardboard boxes, packed with styrofoam to protect the contents.
Time to look into what to do with styrofoam packaging. Result? So frustrating. Indeed, 25% of our land fill is styrofoam - is that really possible? Is that acceptable to you? It's not to me! It appears that it is almost impossible to recycle the stuff (see article). Your best best is to "store it and re-use it when you ship stuff" - huh? That is a ridiculous suggestion, IMHO (as in - where am I going to store it all?).

This is a pathetic state of affairs for us California environmentalists. When are our useless government officials going to stop wasting time on the dead-end of impeachment and bickering amongst themselves, and come up with solutions to problems like this. These problems are bigger than what private citizens can easily solve themselves. So discouraging. California pisses off almost everyone by banning plastic straws, yet styrofoam - a real environmental devastation - is ignored. I've written to elected officials about various topics all my life - NOT ONE LETTER HAS MADE ANY DIFFERENCE that I can tell. What to do? What to do? What to do? HAPPY NEW YEAR! FROM THE ARTICLE: " Furthermore, as you have probably already noticed, disregarded pieces of Styrofoam can be found in the outdoors all the time. Styrofoam is an especially detrimental form of litter as it is not biodegradable." And we are so righteous about the fact that we Californios banned the inconsequential plastic straw.
