Green Tip For July

THE BETTER CUP

 

Americans throw away an estimated 25 billion Styrofoam cups every year.  Once in the landfill, Styrofoam takes 20,000 years to degrade.  Styrofoam and other petroleum-based products consume 25 percent of our landfill space.   Burning Styrofoam releases over ninety different harmful compounds including dioxin, which raises cancer risk.  While it might seem obvious that paper cups are a better alternative, life cycle assessment studies of the two indicate otherwise.  After considering the inputs and outputs of materials and energy as well as all of the associated environmental impacts of paper, it is estimated that Styrofoam cups release 35 percent fewer toxic chemicals into the environment and require half the energy to produce than paper cups.  However, you can’t burn the Styrofoam cups and it takes up landfill space to throw them away.  The cost of biodegradable plastics is affordable and increasingly more available.  However, if you don’t compost these in an active compost pile, you are just creating more trash. So on your next outing, just take a reusable cup.
