styrofoam

The Haitian government has decreed no longer will it be acceptable to use plastic bags for purchased items. As well, they are prohibiting polystyrene, and Styrofoam plates, cups, and bottles.

The decree is an update of a previous version and also outlaws manufacturing, importing, and advertising of such products. This is being done to protect Haitians from carcinogens.

On August 1st customs will seize such contraband at the port, and transgressors will fined under the Customs Code.
