We are asking businesses to sgn our pledge to go polystyrene free. This pledge is to help make our community safer and healthier. After businesses sign the pledge, they get a sticker to put on their window. Below is a copy of the pledge.
Takoma Park No Styrofoam Food Service Ware Pledge for Businesses On behalf of my Takoma Park business, we pledge to not use polystyrene food service ware for anything in our restaurant/store/business. We recognize that polystyrene – resin code #6 – is nonrecyclable, nonreusable, and noncompostable and that is made from styrene, a known neurotoxicant and suspected human carcinogen. As an alternative, my business will use reusable or compostable plates, containers, cups, and silver ware to serve our food or drinks.
I sign this on behalf of my business because I want to do good for our community, our customers, and our environment. Business Name:
