With New York City’s restrictions on soda sizes set to come into effect next month, Mayor Michael Bloomberg is now considering a ban on the Styrofoam cups the drinks sometimes come in, along with any other containers made of polystyrene foam material.
The New York Post hears from a Sanitation Department official that City Hall is considering a measure that would ban restaurants and food carts from using Styrofoam in an effort to reach the Bloomberg’s goal of making 30 percent of the city’s household trash recyclable by 2017. New Yorkers currently recycle 15 percent of their waste. “We’re studying all the different things in our waste stream,” said Ron Gonen, the city’s deputy commissioner for recycling. “We want to make sure that everything in our waste stream is recyclable.”
And this is why the city is in decline. Real issues abound yet the billionaire totalitarian Doomberg plays around with stuff that only excites is trust fund buddies on the Upper East Side who don't even know what a Styrofoam cup looks like.
