Maryland EPS Foam Phase-out Petition
As a Maryland resident, I support the phasing out of expanded polystyrene (EPS) food service products and packaging. I understand the health and environmental risks associated with using EPS, and I do not want myself or others exposed to these unnecessary risks.
I support the legislation introduced in the Maryland General Assembly that prohibits the use of EPS food service products in order to protect Maryland’s citizens and clean up Maryland’s environment. I urge my representative to vote for and support such legislation.
In support of a #FoamFreeMD, I will strive to:
-bring reusable takeout containers whenever possible in place of EPS
-educate my fellow citizens on the negative impacts associated with EPS and how they can help reduce pollution and support the campaign
-encourage local businesses in my community to switch away from the use of EPS
-communicate with my legislators and encourage them to support this bill
