Styrofoam officially banned in City Council vote

In a follow-up vote on Jan. 8, the San Diego City Council approved a proposed ban on polystyrene foam, which would take effect in 2020.

The ban, proposed by District 3 Councilmember Chris Ward, will prohibit the use, sale, production and distribution of foodware products made of polystyrene foam, more commonly known as Styrofoam.

These products include — but are not limited to — cups, bowls, plates, coolers, ice chests, meat and fish trays, and egg cartons. They would not be allowed to be distributed at restaurants or sold at grocery stores, and customers would be prohibited from bringing them to public spaces such as parks, beaches and canyons.

The ban has been somewhat controversial, with many environmental advocates supporting the change and some small business owners noting its possible financial hardship.

The council tentatively approved the Styrofoam ban in a 5-3 vote on Oct. 15. However, due to Councilmember David Alvarez’s absence for the vote, a secondary vote was required.

For San Diego Uptown News’ previous coverage of the ban, visit bit.ly/styrofoam-ban or bit.ly/ban-passed.


Mission Hills scientist receives prestigious grant

The NOMIS Foundation, a Swiss grant foundation that funds global research in a variety of scientific fields, has awarded $1.8 million to a Mission Hills resident.

Dr. Janelle Ayres is an associate professor at the Salk Institute in La Jolla. Her work concerns the potential of microbes to promote human health on a comprehensive level. Instead of examining how to combat infection, Dr. Ayres’ focus is on maintaining health in harmony with microbial life.

“Janelle’s [Ayres] thinking is both bold and unconventional, and it is already yielding new strategies to combat infectious disease,” Salk Institute President Rusty Gage said. “We are very grateful for the NOMIS Foundation’s support, which will help ensure that the Ayres lab continues its groundbreaking research for the benefit of human health.”

The project, titled “Harnessing Physiological Health to Treat Disease,” seeks to redefine our understanding of health and what it means to treat disease effectively. Learn more at salk.edu or nomisfoundation.ch.
