Plastic is bad for the environment and foam isnt
yes.but plastic cup is a better good insulator than glass beaker.
about 4 to 6 hours
Since it is man made , plastic does not decompose as well as other materials like paper. To give you an example a plastic cup would take about 1 million years to decompose, whereas a paper cup would take only 40 or 50 years to decompose.
A red solo cup will decompose in 50-100 years. Decomposition of plastic varies based on what type it is made from

250 years;-)
it takes about about as long to go to the north pole,talk to santa, get a flying pig, and come back just in time to eat some nice red jelly beans
One (1) month, 25-40 years, 50-450 years, and 50 years are the time that it respectively takes a banana peel, a leather shoe, a plastic jug, and a styrofoam cup to decompose. But the length responds to access to proper levels of air, heat, light, micro-organisms, and moisture.
A styrofoam coffee cup can take up to 1 million years to decompose. It will eventually break down, but the time it takes is so long that we can safely say it is not biodegradable. A paper cup will decompose much more quickly, so whenever possibly you should try to use paper cups. A glass coffee cup will take between 1-2 million years to decompose, and a plastic jug will take approximately 1 million years to decompose.Scientists are currently working on discovering a type of plastic that will break down more quickly. There have been some breakthroughs although nothing is currently available on the commercial market.Read more: http://greenanswers.com/q/36336/recycling-waste/landfills/will-coffee-cup-eventually-break-down#ixzz2BUblFKD0Not only does Styrofoam take such incredible amounts of energy to break down, this material consumes 25 percent of our landfill space.For an idea of how long it takes a paper cup to break down, a piece of paper takes about 3 months to decompose. In the ocean environment, it may take about 2 months for a cardboard to break down.Read more: http://greenanswers.com/q/36336/recycling-waste/landfills/will-coffee-cup-eventually-break-down#ixzz2BUbyfFQT
it takes 6 plastic bags to make a Starbucks plastic cup
long enough...
the option are: 10 months 10 years 100 years 400years
It is a long plastic trumpet.
A plastic cup holds more heat because plastic can't take out heat. Glass conducts heat away.
