Is Styrofoam bad for the environment?
Styrofoam is bad for the environment. It isn't biodegrade and it takes up more space in landfills than paper. I'm not sure if it's bad for humans or not because I don't know any humans who have ever eaten styrofoam. I'm sure it wouldn't digest well.

About Styrofoam
The word Styrofoam is usually used as a generic term for expanded polystyrene foam, like disposable coffee cups, disposable coolers, packing materials, etc. This type of polystyrene is largely not bio-degradable and can remain intact for thousands of years. The Styrofoam used for crafts is sort of soluble in organic solvents.
