Should Somerville Ban Styrofoam?

Brookline did it. Cambridge is thinking about it. Should Somerville join the trend?

Earlier this month Brookline, despite objections from Dunkin Donuts, voted to ban styrofoam food containers, including cups, from restaurants in town. A week later, city councilors in Cambridge voted to draft a municipal code that, if enacted, would do the same thing. This begs the question: Should Somerville follow suit? Would you support a styrofoam food-container ban in Somerville? Or do you think such a ban goes too far?

A nice way to drive business from the city, and take away a few more of our individual rights/choices. Also, the school department probably uses more styrofoam than Dunkin' Donuts. Clean up your own house before you come after mine.   more ›
