A passerby disposes of her styrofoam cup in a trash basket in New York on Tuesday, March 19, 2013. NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg has proposed a ban on styrofoam which is used in take-out containers and is difficult to recycle. Bloomberg has already targeted smoking, sugar and trans-fat in his social engineering plans. Other cities have already banned the polystyrene which is not biodegradable. (© Richard B. Levine)
