Hazardous Packing Material

Those little white peanuts packed in boxes are environmentally harmful. Once they get out of the box they will blow anywhere a molecule of moving air can be found. Styrofoam won't biodegrade like a banana peel so we don't need this stuff blowing around. Working in retail for 6 years I learned the only way to deal with these things is to tape the box shut after you remove its contents and throw it away. The 21st Century way to pack boxes is to use plastic bubble wrap or other sensible materials.
