This is what you can tell them: I am calling to express my support for ending Styrofoam pollution in California and to urge Assembly Member XXX to vote YES on SB 568. Foam pollution is a big problem in California- our streets, beaches and waterways are filled with foam and it’s hard to clean up. It’s time to put an end to this problem. I prefer not to eat products packaged in foam. There are cheap alternatives available. SB 568 will increase the manufacturing of less toxic alternative food packaging in California. For these reasons, I urge Assembly Member XXX to vote YES on SB 568.
