The world is drowning in plastic, and single-use packaging is a big part of the reason why. Throwaway wrappers and containers are practically impossible to avoid in our convenience-obsessed times. From pasta to orange juice, nearly every item of food and drink we purchase today comes encased in some form of plastic designed to be used once, then cast aside.
Though recycling is often touted as a way out of this morass, the reality is far less rosy. Food and beverage packaging can employ dozens of plastics, including expanded polystyrene, aka Styrofoam, which is verboten in most municipal curbside programs. Some forms of packaging think Capri Sun pouches or milk cartons combine one or more types of plastic with disparate materials like foil and paper, which are difficult if not impossible to separate once melded together.
Charlie Robertson, Sr., Franklin
Robertson improved from seventh at state as a sophomore to finish second last season behind teammate Aidan Palmer (now at Boise State). The Colorado signee and 2019 3,000-meter champion on the track won the final Elite 5K race at Hydrangea Ranch in Tillamook in November, beating Wyoming 3A state champion Peter Visser of Star Valley by eight seconds.

A parking directional sign pilot project spearheaded by the La Jolla Coastal Access and Parking Board won unanimous approval of the local Traffic & Transportation Board during its Feb. 17 meeting.
The project aims to guide motorists to parking spots at garages in The Village and help ease traffic congestion in the area.
The directional, or wayfinding, program would make use of money for short-term parking solutions as part of the La Jolla Coastal Access Parking Fund, which was established about 50 years ago through California Coastal Commission-required contributions by office space developers. About $121,000 is available for short-term parking solutions.
Celebrating Deli
I always get excited at the IDDBA show. I mean, really, the place is full of food – what’s not to get excited about?
Seriously, though, based on my visit to the three-day Dairy-Deli-Bake in Orlando this month, I’d have to say most of the exhibitors were focused on three key things: solutions, celebrations and satisfaction.
Among the solutions,
Perdue Foods’ new chicken burgers fit the bill nicely. With less fat and calories than traditional beef burgers, these all-natural burgers are part of a turnkey merchandising solution that includes the foil-lined bags for the sandwiches that are displayed alongside rotisserie birds – part of the company’s aim to “innovate on products to generate more money and more ways to use equipment,” senior marketing manager John Moore told me.
