Mayor Mike Bloomberg continues to fight for
climate sustainability with the proposal of banning foam food containers from
being used. New Yorkers alone dispose of
23,000 foam containers per year and while street vendors and restaurateurs
prefer these heat-keeping containers, they have proven to have a slow breakdown
rate within landfills.
The banning of
this container, which has already been implemented in some west coast cities,
will result in a higher cost for take-away products by vendors and restaurant
owners. As a result, there is much
controversy revolved around the issue.
The future of the foam container in New York
will be up for debate this winter. For
