Styrofoam Containers- Wants or Needs?
![US](https://depts.washington.edu/i2sea/images/flagpedia/US.png)
Styrofoam food containers are used widely in almost every single restaurant you could think of. It’s a non reusable container that is cheap and easy to use. It could be considered as not disposable to, as it could take some upwards of 500 years just to decompose. It pollutes and increases the size of landfills, and won't stop anytime soon. Try your best to bring reusable containers next time you go to a restaurant.

I see what your saying and I agree with you styrofoam containers are easy and cheap to use but cause lots of pollution and we need a better way for it.
