| Faith — Styrofoam packaging in fast food is largely a thing of the past. McDonald's stopped using styrofoam in the late 1990s — yet Chick-fil-A refuses to let go. Their foam cups are supposedly recycled at some locations, but Maria thinks they can do more. She is asking the chain to stop using environmentally destructive styrofoam cups now. | |

| As someone who cares deeply about our environment, I'm writing to ask Chick-Fil-A to STOP using styrofoam cups. The particles created from disposal of these cups are being eaten by wildlife and endangering their lives. Polystyrene is also dangerous to humans, and its chemicals easily leech into our drinks. If we continue to destroy our ecosystem through the irresponsible use of nonbiodegradable materials, our planet will not be able to continue supporting us.
Other food industry giants have stepped up their game and ditched styrofoam for more sustainable packaging. It's time you came on board. Millions of cups get thrown away without a second thought. Even still, you cannot recycle these cups into more cups, and so the production continues along with the destruction of our environment.
Do the right thing, and switch over to paper. It's more eco-friendly, more sustainable, more recyclable, and overall the better choice for your company and the planet. Thank you for your time and your advocacy for us all
Switch to a more eco friendly paper cup. | |
