WASHINGTON – Hill sources tell The Huffington Post that the long national nightmare of polystyrene packaging in the House cafeteria is over.
The Longworth House cafeteria had switched to paper packaging products as of Friday. While the Ford building's cafeteria still had foam products as of Friday, an aide confirmed the change was a management decision and eventually would extend to the other House eateries.
The office of the ranking Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, Rep. Robert Brady (Pa.), confirmed the change to HuffPost. "Ranking Member Brady is very pleased that the House is eliminating polystyrene food and beverage containers for more environmentally responsible options," said Brady spokesman Kyle Anderson. "It's the right thing to do and definitely a step in the right direction."
