From a friend traveling cross-country...

''Just got back after five weeks on the road, out west. We visited three local eating establishments (burgers and sandwiches) that served sandwiches, burgers, fries, onion rings etc in a paper sleeve (doubled square of paper that was open on two sides and closed on two sides) instead of a wax paper wrap, paper box or styrofoam container. While it is not a perfect solution, it seemed to be an improvement - and it was interesting to see it in the local places of small towns. Too bad the chains in the cities couldn't follow suit!''
