Thundercloud Subs: Stop using polystyrene cups
Polystyrene foam, commonly referred to as Styrofoam, too often enters our waterways, ending up in our oceans, rivers, and lakes, trashing our beaches and harming wildlife. Please stop using polystyrene cups in your restaurants.
Why is this important?
I love Thundercloud Subs, but am disappointed by their use of polystyrene cups. Plastic pollution is a growing problem, responsible for country-sized swirling gyres of plastic waste in our oceans and growing landfills in our country’s interior. This pollution is damaging our ecosystems and endangering public health. This pollution is damaging our ecosystems and endangering public health. Polystyrene foam, commonly referred to as Styrofoam, is among the worst forms of plastic pollution. Like all plastics, it does not biodegrade but breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces, which means every bit of polystyrene ever made is still out there.
