It’s time for San Francisco to ban toxic disposable foodware
By Sue Chiang Ever munched on some microwave popcorn while watching a home movie? Stopped for fast food while on the go? Hosted a backyard BBQ with friends and family? Or has your child ever eaten a school served lunch? If your answer to any of these questions is “yes” then you should support San Francisco’s landmark ordinance to ban toxic chemicals in disposable foodware and drastically cut down the amount of plastic waste produced by the City. For decades, chemicals have been added to microwave popcorn bags, pastry bags, fast food wrappers, plates, bowls, food trays, take-out containers and other food packaging to make them water and grease resistant. But new research shows that some of these chemicals migrate from the packaging into our food, groundwater, compost, soil and crops — threatening public health and the environment.

It’s hard to picture how a theater company could make a short story work on stage without changing a word of it. What about all the description, all the inner monologues? What about each pesky “he said” or “she said”? And it’s still not reader’s theater or storytelling? No one’s holding a book and reading aloud? There’s no narrator or editor? The company, which celebrates 25 years of operation with “Anniversary! Stories by Tobias Wolff and George Saunders” Aug. 8-Sept. 2 at Z Space, devises ingenious ways to make straight prose dramatic. A single sentence might be divided among four or five different speakers, each giving his or her own contrasting take on the proceedings but without making the sentence sound choppy. In the hands of a gifted actor, that throwaway “he said” might become an insult or a plea … [Read more...] about Word for Word: 25 years of finding the dramatic heart of literature in San Francisco
