Street Talk: What do you think about the city’s possible ban on Styrofoam cups and containers?

What do you think about the city’s possible ban on Styrofoam cups and containers?

 

“It’s good for the environment so I think it would be a great move.”

Leigh A.

Staten Island

 

“I try to be as green as possible, so it’s probably a good idea. It means less garbage. And those materials aren’t biodegradable.”

Diane B.

Bay Ridge

 

“I’ve never had really had an opinion on Styrofoam but I know it’s bad for the environment. So it could be a good thing.”

Kevin F.

Bay Ridge

 

“I think it’s an excellent idea. I prefer never to use Styrofoam cups just for safety reasons. They have these little loose specks inside them. I agree with Mayor Bloomberg on this one.”

Ann G.

Bay Ridge

 

“The mayor is a fool. Who is he to say what we can and can’t use?”

Daniela C.

Bay Ridge

 

“Mayor Bloomberg tries to make this a Communist country. We pay taxes. I don’t even like Styrofoam but it should be our right to use it.”

Dawn H.

Bay Ridge

 

“I think it’s a very good thing. They can’t decompose.”

Rebecca S.

Bay Ridge

 

“Absolutely it’s a good idea. Anything that helps the environment.”
