Petition to Ban Styrofoam in Albany County
We, the undersigned, support Local Law S - the expansion of the ban on Styrofoam (polystyrene) for commercial establishments that sell take-out food and drinks in Albany County. The current ban covers establishments with 15 or more locations. The expanded ban would cover all establishments that sell take-out food and drinks. This law will save valuable landfill space, safeguard our health, reduce the spread of toxins to our waterways and food chain, and reduce our use of fossil fuels.
This petition is brought to you by a team of volunteers in partnership with Riverkeeper, Sierra Club Hudson-Mohawk Group, People of Albany United for Safe Energy (PAUSE), Environmental Advocates of New York, and many concerned residents of Albany County.
