Is Mayor Bill de Blasio right to put the kibosh on plastic foam?

On Thursday, city officials announced a ban on plastic-foam food containers. It also includes the sale of packing peanuts within New York City, although out-of-town shippers can still use foam in packages shipped here. The prohibition would take effect July 1. The food-container ban is the result of a law passed in 2013, backed by then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The city decided not to try a pilot recycling program for plastic foam, which the industry had offered to subsidize on a temporary basis. Last year, the city collected 30,000 tons of the material.
