This Is One Way To Avoid Throwing Away Styrofoam

The robots from Daft Punk probably wouldn't condone the usage of Styrofoam.

With the disposal of Styrofoam being an environmental health concern, it’s always hard to determine what to do with your Styrofoam cups, materials, what have you. But, if you’re extremely self-conscious about your life affecting Earth (such as my, smugly liberal, yet good-looking, Earth-friendly self *turns to Camera 2 to reveal a casual grin and a wink*), you more than likely don’t even deal with Styrofoam products. Though, there are those cases like when you get take-out where the only thing they have to send it in is Styrofoam or when you simply just can’t finish your meal because you ordered too much damn food and all they have is Styrofoam to-go boxes. I digress.

This is certainly a dream that I've had once or twice.

So, instead of worrying about whether or not you’re going to pollute the planet with Styrofoam, simply go pick up some Sharpies and get to drawing all over those Styrofoam plates, boxes, cups, and brassieres (exclusively available in Greenland). I StumbleUpon’ed some really cool drawings on Styrofoam cups over at Acid Cow (Grammatically correct version: “stumbled upon,” but using the StumbleUpon in reference, the grammar much change, I say!). Click on the link in the post to check out the whole slew of them. Acid Cow doesn’t list the artist, otherwise I would say who they are. And since there is no artist listed in these pictures, I will simply take credit for them. Though, I won’t take credit for the cups that have the samurai drawings on them that some bro wearing Ed Hardy shirts probably has tattooed on his inner forearm.
