Have I mentioned that I [i]HATE[/i] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polystyrene]styrofoam[/url]? The stuff just drives me nuts and everything these days seems to come packed in a box filled with some sort of styrofoam. In addition to it’s effects on the environment, it seems to get everywhere while opening whatever cool gadget I’ve just purchased. These little white ball seem to be attracted to the static electricity of our feet as we walk around and then get deposited in some corner of the house farthest from where they were first released, only to be discovered weeks later. The other thing that always annoys me about this stuff is that it’s difficult to dispose of properly. I usually end up just throwing it in the garbage because there is not easy way to recycle it. So, into the garbage bag it goes and since it doesn’t crush easily, it can take up almost a whole bag to itself. Oh, and try to break it up before putting it into a bag and you’ll have a million little styrofoam nuggets to clean up….Don’t get me started!
