I would like to commend local Dari Mart stores, and their parent company Lochmead Dairy, for reducing their use of plastic packaging. They have begun switching out their food service cups and deli wrapping materials to biodegradable and compostable paper products. Soon, they plan to introduce non-plastic straws as well.
Hopefully Dari Mart’s packaging choices will inspire other local businesses to make similar, eco-friendly decisions.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
