This one is obvious to some people, and not so much to others! Did you know that a SINGLE polystyrene (Styrofoam) cup conains ONE BILLION BILLION molecules of CFC's? That's 1,000,000,000,000,000,000. Once a CFC atom reaches the ozone layer, it can take over 100 years before it breaks up and becomes harmless!
Think about this when you're buying picnic supplies, and especially when you're at the restaurant! Most "to go" containers are made out of Styrofoam! Consider taking your own re-usable plastic Tupperware container instead of the one that will end up in the land fill, and likely even the atmosphere!
As always, please feel free to comment with questions, or if you have anything to add!
