Not all river wildlife is natural.

A quarter of trash collected from D.C. rivers is expanded polystyrene foam (often known as Styrofoam). Let's make it zero.

The D.C. Council votes Monday morning on a bill to ban EPS foam from food service businesses, like restaurants, cafes, delis, coffee shops, vending trucks/carts, and food trucks. Banning it at the source prevents it from reaching our rivers.  We need your tweets to tell the DC council that this bill needs to pass for the protection of our DC rivers.

Visit banthefoam.org and tweet your councilmember to ban the foam. Every tweet makes a difference...yes, even yours.
