Maryland Senate OKs Ban On Foam For Food, Drink Containers

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland’s Senate has voted to make the state the first in the nation to ban foam containers for food and drink to fight pollution.
The Senate voted 34-13 on Tuesday for the measure. It now goes to the House of Delegates.
Sen. Cheryl Kagan, a Democrat who is sponsoring the bill, says more than half of the state’s residents already live in places where foam containers are banned for food and drink containers.
She says a statewide ban would be a step forward
