10-year-old Mia Hansen was visiting a Jamba Juice when she noticed the abundance of Styrofoam cups doled out with every drink order. She started a petition on Change.org saying "Styrofoam takes so long to break down into the Earth. In the ocean, several animals think that this product is food, so when they go to eat it, the styrofoam can kill them! Will you ask Jamba Juice to stop using styrofoam in all their stores?" To date, more than 130 thousand supporters have joined in Mia's anti-Styrofoam cause, enough to catch the attention of Jamba Juice execs. Last week, within three weeks of starting the petition, Mia announced that her petition had been heard, and that the smoothie-maker would be discontinuing the use of Styrofoam in all their stores. She aptly said, "It made me feel like anyone of any age in any country can really make a difference in the world."
