Return to article: How to Cope With Styrofoam Peanuts and Go Green
on 7/19/2008 Green suggestions. Thank you.
on 4/28/2008 People absolutely need to start calling the companies who use them and ask them to switch. There are many alternatives available and many purchasers for the companies don't know they are out there, or don't care and are price driven. Consumer demand is what is important here. I work for a company who manufactures a natural peanut called Puffy Stuff (http://puffystufftn.com), and we have created a wonderful 100% biodegradable alternative. Hopefully someday we'll have a nationwide ban on the production of polystyrene, but until then let your voice be heard!

on 12/13/2007 Great article! These things always bug me for this reason. I'm totally donating them and asking my pet supply company to try something else.
on 12/9/2007 I really hate those styrofoam peanuts, and, as you pointed out, there are many ways to avoid them, recycle them, and make others aware of them! Good article!
