Why is Styrofoam so commonly used? What is it made of? Why have 65 countries banned it? Why doesn’t it break down in landfills?

Did you know that chemicals leach into the food and drinks, causing health issues? Even at our age?

Jacob Larson, Pollution Prevention Specialist from the Pollution Prevention Institute at Kansas State University will speak at the monthly Ladies Luncheon about Styrofoam at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 8, in the Event Center

The menu will include a cobb salad with your choice of dressing, a croissant, and cherry crisp ala mode for $13. All ladies of the ML family are always invited to attend the Ladies Luncheon on the second Thursday of each month. If you would like to attend, please sign up in the Blue Book at the Hospitality Desk.
