Tell Gov. Kate Brown: Ban polystyrene foam

Polystyrene foam is particularly bad for the environment because it never truly degrades. It breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces that animals can easily mistake for food. It stays in the environment for hundreds of years -- and we have even begun to detect tiny plastic particles in our own bodies. It's time to ban this harmful product in our state, for the sake of the environment and our health.

Nothing we use for only a few minutes should threaten our environment for centuries. I urge you to ban polystyrene foam.
