Bothered by the fact that school- issued Styrofoam trays, plates and cups were choking the local landfill, Styers and a dozen or so like-minded students began marching through the cafeteria earlier this year carrying reusable dishes brought from home. They were branded "tree huggers" and "crazy," but Styers and his friends persisted. They did their homework, figuring the cost of recycling schemes. They tipped off the local media.
