is there an alternative in nyc schools?

Hello!
            The styrofoam trays have been an issue that has been bothering me for some time. I used to work in the bronx. styrofoam trays. Now I work in Brooklyn. styrofoam trays. Other friends working in manhattan have shared with me that they also have styrofoam trays only. However, a friend of mine got a job working in Tarrytown ( Westchester)  this year and has informed me that they use recycled cardboard!!!

             I would love to work on this issue... but I am wondering, Are there any nyc schools that DON'T use styrofoam? If so, what do they use and where do they get it? Who can we speak to/ lobby to for recycled cardboard?
              THanks... I'm new here :)
