Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
Many items say they are recyclable, but that doesn't do any good if you or the facility doesn't, indeed, recycle them. i.e...the plastics at fast food places.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject
Did you know that if you refuse to eat food that is served on Styrofoam or plastic, that you could end up losing weight? This is because it makes you think more before you purchase your food.... you are less likely to go to fast food places AND more likely to pack a lunch before you go.
