The Young Activist Club is working to stop use of polystyrene for foodservice ware. Polystyrene (resin code #6, also known as styrofoam) is bad for the environment and our health as it is made from styrene, a known neurotoxicant and reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. We are actively raising awareness in our community about polystyrene’s negative environmental and public health impacts and identifying alternatives. We are 3^rd through 7^th graders who have raised more than $10,000 to pilot a dishwasher at one school and are asking businesses to go polystyrene-free. Get involved! Take the pledge.
