10 REASONS TO QUIT USING STYROFOAM


  1. Styrofoam is a known hazardous substance that releases toxins like benzene and styrene into our food and drink which can harm human health and reproductive systems. ​
  2. Styrofoam is a non-biodegradable substance and lasts over 500 years in our lands and oceans. 
  3. ​The production of styrofoam releases large amounts of harmful chemicals into our environment. 
  4. Styrofoam leads to the depletion of the ozone layer which protects us from the sun’s harmful rays. 
  5. Ignoring the horrific dangers of styrofoam for short-term convenience and economic gain is not worth the price our current and future generations will have to pay. 
  6. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Americans throw out 25 billion styrofoam cups and take-out containers every year. The additional cost of using eco-friendly products is a change our community must prioritize. 

  7. The Quran has many verses emphasizing the importance of our role as stewards of the land such as “It is He who has appointed you viceroys in the earth … that He may try you in what He has given you.” (Quran 6:165); “O children of Adam! … eat and drink: but waste not by excess, for Allah loves not the wasters.” (Quran 7:31); “And do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption.” (Qur’an, 2:60); “And do not desire corruption in the land. Indeed, God does not like corruptors.” (Quran 28:77). 
  8. Each year over 100,000 animals die ingesting plastic or styrofoam.

  9. Styrofoam cannot be recycled. 

  10. Styrofoam is light and crumbles easily and ends up creating microscopic debris in our coastline and waterways.
