Plastic Foam Survey
The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it; the world and those who live in it…
– Psalm 24:1
God calls all humankind to be responsible stewards of God’s creation. God cares deeply about how we use natural resources, what we do with our waste, and how they affect our neighbors. Pollution matters to God!
One of the most polluting substances we have in our communities is plastic foam, better known by the brand name Styrofoam®. Plastic foam takes anywhere from decades to millennia to decompose, and it releases toxic chemicals as it breaks down. Unfortunately, plastic foam is very common—in our trash cans, landfills, streets, and even our beloved rivers and streams. Such pollution sickens our natural world and breaks God’s heart.
The good news is that we can break our plastic foam habit! Complete this survey and commit to freeing our communities and ourselves from plastic foam today.
