Nanny Bloomberg Moves to Ban Styrofoam

[PBramble]

so what type of insulation panels will be allowed if styrofoam is banned? this will inevitably drive up construction costs as well as a side effect.

What is a cost effective replacement for floating boat docks then?

NYC is comprised of 5 islands and they do have marinas there.

I understand and agree with the argument opposing Mayor Bloomberg on 2nd Amendment issues, I also understand the argument about the soft-drink size issue but why does a styrofoam cup ban also cause you issues? This seems to be a classic case of hating the message because you hate the messenger rather than on the basis of rational discussion.
This doesn't appear to be a "nanny State" issue at all - it is a pragmatic discussion of what can or cannot be put into city managed landfill or recycling sites. If you want to use stryofoam - pay a surcharge or find a private firm that will haul it to a facility that will handle it. If you need to use styrofoam - appeal for an exception or relocate.

This is why I go to fivebucks. It makes me feel good to over pay for a cup of joe.
