The debate between paper and plastic packaging has been ongoing for years, and it’s only been reinvigorated by the recent surge in municipal plastic bag bans affecting cities across the country.

Getting The Most Out Of Your Breakfast

Calling breakfast the most important meal of the day is no exaggeration.

Weekend TV Watch

Forget “Outlander.” “Portrait of Jennie” (tonight at 8 on TCM) finds a struggling artist (Joseph Cotten) smitten with a mysterious girl (Jennifer Jones) who seems to be from another time in this 1948 classic partially filmed in Boston. This sounds sticky and gross: The gang at Terracycle tries to recycle gum on “Human Resources” (tonight at 10 on Pivot).

Good News:

Holy Family Catholic School students have turned breakfast into cash for their school. They are among the top collectors of cereal bags in the MOM Brands Cereal Bag Brigade, a national recycling program. Schools earn points for every unit of waste they collect and send to TerraCycle, which recycles the traditionally non-recyclable waste into new materials, a news release said. To date, the students have diverted 1,197 units of cereal bag waste from landfills. The points are redeemed for charitable gifts or a cash donation to the nonprofit or school of their choice.
