Styrofoam scenery
Good Morning!
Littered Styrofoam packaging may look like growing heaps of snowflakes only to squinting, short sighted eyes. Myopic or not, the Chinese want a clear- eyed view of their surroundings. The flying Styrofoam packages, carelessly thrown from windows of trains and barges are being called ‘white pollution’. Mounds of waste dotting the landscape has been recognized as an environmental irritant that needs to be dealt with by a firm hand. Worries of being snowed under by this disposable problem have had suggestions coming up about alternative sources for the packages. Biodegradable material made of rice stalks, which are otherwise burned after harvest may be a possible source for future packages. If the idea is implemented, carefree travelers may find themselves being coaxed to throw litter and do their bit for planetary rescue.
