Bill would phase out Styrofoam food containers in Montana

A bill entering the Montana House would eventually get rid of styrofoam food packaging, be it in to-go boxes or egg cartons.

Rep. Shane Morigeau, D-Missoula, says the aim is to protect the health of people and wildlife in Montana.

"Bears get into garbage cans and eat a lot of the food that’s here, and deer, and everything is just one big cycle," Morigeau said. "And we as humans ingest deer, elk, fish, all of those types of things, and it all adds up."
