Interview with Dr. Gerry Reimer
Our attempt was to construct some biodegradable cups to make a replacement for Styrofoam ones. We made three cups, click on Experiment and results for information about our cups.

American companies produce enough Styrofoam cups to circle the earth 400 times!!! |
Almost 50% of paper in the
United States goes to
packaging
and almost all of it goes to the garbage as
soon as it arrives to its destination.
