They reduce heat loss through the walls, hence you need less fuel (directly or at the power-station) to heat the building and maintain the temperature for a given heat rise and time.

Is foam good for the environment?
No it is made from plastic, which is mostly made from fossil fuel oil. You could say that it is as it is light and therefore uses little energy when transporting around. However, you could use straw instead as growing this will remove carbon from the environment. Also there are types of bubble wrap that are made of bio-plastic, that is, plastic made from vegetable oil. This is much less harmful.
Is foam renewable?
not really.
How is aeropanics done?
Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil.

A cell foam is placed around the lower stem for support and the plants are suspended in a pest free enviroment.

Are foam cups good or bad for the environment?
I would say they are bad. Not only by the liter they create but animals can injest them and it can be instant death. I had a puppy a few years back that died and after the vet checked into in his dijestive thack was stopped uo with chewed up styrofoam foro a foam plate he chewed up during the night. Another way to look at it is that people who let their dogs eat anything they want and don't get them to the vet before they suffer and die should worry more about their dogs and less about their choice in disposable containers. I'm very sorry to read about your puppy, and indeed eating plastic is a big killer of animals. As well as this, disposable plastic foam cups are very wasteful of their materials and process-fuel even if salvageable, whereas a rigid plastic, metal, ceramic or glass drinking-vessel will last indefinitely. And metal is re-usable.

pu foam
Why does plastic foam cavity wall insualtion cut down energy trasnfer between warm inner walls and cool outer walls?
it's stronger
Why are foam filled cavity walls are better than air filled cavity walls in reducing heat loss?
Foam is a good insulator- this means that it traps still air and prevents heat travelling and being lost. Heat is lost more easily through the air in air-filled cavity walls as the air is not kept still.
What is the best way to insulate a metal out building?
Insulating foam - sprayed-on or as panels attached to the interior walls
What are the advantages and disadvantages to spray on insulation?
A significant problem, sprayed foam shrinks 15% over the first five years. Spray foam demands a skilled operator as spraying onto a surface that is too cold, or having the mixture wrong can lead to the foam separating from its base. Foam that is not installed correctly, will separate from its base, it will leave openings for heat to escape. Any cracks of gaps in the sprayed on foam, on the inside of a building will allow water vapor access to the inside of walls or roofs and this can lead to condensation within the structure, leading to damp, mold and wood rot.
