We respectfully ask the Danville Area School District and the Nutrition Group to stop using polystyrene foam cafeteria trays.
Polystyrene trays are not re-usable or recyclable and end up in landfills where they last for thousands of years. Polystyrene contains the toxic substances Styrene and Benzene which are suspected carcinogens and neurotoxins that are hazardous to humans
Danville Area School District should stop using polystyrene trays and switch to biodegradable or reusable cafeteria trays.
