Dunkin' Donuts: Ditch Styrofoam in R.I.
Environment Rhode Island
Dunkin' Donuts has removed Styrofoam from locations in Brookline, MA and Freeport, ME. As a Rhode Islander, I urge your company to remove Styrofoam from all Rhode Island locations as well.
Styrofoam poses unnecessary risks to the environment, including marine ecosystems like Narragansett Bay. Chains like Starbucks have already eliminated Styrofoam cups. I urge Dunkin' to be an environmental leader by phasing out Styrofoam in Rhode Island immediately.

Why is this important?
Along with plastic bags and bottles, Styrofoam is a major source of trash along Rhode Island's coast, threatening Narragansett Bay and taking centuries to break down.
Dunkin' Donuts has removed its ubiquitous Styrofoam cups from a handful of New England towns that have enacted Styrofoam bans. Join us in urging Dunkin' to remove Styrofoam from all Rhode Island locations––for the sake of Narragansett Bay and all of us who treasure it.
