Every year there are more than 100 billion styrafoam cups thrown away that are building up in landfills as well as on the side of our roads and in our waterways. Instead of using these products that are non-biodegradeable that will continue to harm the enviroment, you could and should, check out and use products from one of many differant companies whom are currently making dinnerware that is safe to use and throw away. Companies are making these products out of sugar cane fibers and corn byproducts. You can use these dinnerware items and simply throw them in your backyard into a compost pile. They are all biodegradeable and some of the products can even be washed and reused. A couple companies making these products are Cereplast, Treecycle, Sinless Buying, and EarthShell. So tomorrow, when you're using that good 'ol styrafoam cup to have some of the good green drank in class, think about what the school should be doing and how they could be doing it. We could use biodegradable cups and put them in a compost heap, along with all the other food we throw away and start a nice garden for some fresh hebs.

Very interesting. Especially the part about "green drank."
I think people, especially in an environment such as that of a culinary school should have a mind to help the environment, given the amount of resources that we have, and utilize. I hope that something will be done about this soon, not only by this school, but by the general public.
