Thread Name: BS: Tap Water vs. Bottled Water
Subject: RE: BS: Tap Water vs. Bottled Water
Much energy amongst ENGos and organizations providing municipal tap water has been directed towards demonizing bottled water.I feel making peple of sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives is good.

However, little attention is being focused on the use of styrofoam by the food and bevredge industry. Coffee cups, product packaging, the meat industry all use huge amounts of styrofoam which is not recycled,makes up 30 percent of garbage, takes hundreds of years to break down and adds toxins to the environment.

There is a good record for recycling plastic drink containers (including water bottles), and opportunities to make it better..

It makes me wonder why styrofoam is being ignored?
