Styrofoam
Building #19, a retailer in the Boston, Massachusetts, area, has always offered their shoppers free coffee. Recently, they switched from Styrofoam to paper cups. On the cups is this explanation:
Please Join Building #19 in our fight to save the endangered Styrofoam. Herds of these peaceful creatures once roamed the plains of America, but now their numbers have dwindled to a precious few due to Mankind's shortsighted harvesting of them for their white insulated pelts.
So remember, as your fingers burn while holding this paper cup, that you're helping, in a small way, to make the world a safer place for the friendly Styrofoams.
