The Senate Tuesday voted overwhelmingly 90 to 8 to confirm President Donald Trump's pick for secretary of defense, Mark Esper, giving the Pentagon its first permanent chief since James Mattis stepped down in January.While he received broad bipartisan backing, several Democratic presidential hopefuls including Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Elizabeth Warren voted against Esper who had been Army Secretary and had briefly served as the acting secretary of defense after Trump's initial pick to replace Mattis, Patrick Shanahan's nomination dramatically imploded last month.Following his confirmation vote Trump is expected to formally appoint Esper later on Tuesday and a Pentagon spokesman told reporters a swearing in ceremony is expected Tuesday evening.Esper, a former army officer and West Point classmate of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also worked as a senior staffer on Capitol Hill.Though he received broad bipartisan support he has received some criticism from at least one Democratic lawmaker over his ties to Raytheon, a major defense contractor, where he worked as a lobbyist.The unprecedented length of time without a permanent secretary of defense had been cited as a problem by both Republican and Democrat lawmakers as well as veterans of the defense department.A large number of senior roles at the Pentagon continue to lack permanent appointees.Esper had to step down as acting secretary following his formal nomination due to regulations. Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer has been performing the acting role as Esper went through the confirmation process, making him the third consecutive acting defense secretary since Mattis resigned. 1705

There have been bans on plastic straws and bags, but what about the plastic rings that hold canned drinks together? Well, that could be next. Since the 1970s, six-pack plastic rings have been a symbol of harmful waste in the ocean. However, the rings have been a staple for beverage companies to hold canned drinks together. At MillerCoors, one of the oldest beer brewing companies, the plan is to get rid of plastic. "What we are trying to do is get away from the plastic and get more into the biodegradable, recyclable and bio-friendly solution," says MillerCoors brew master Jeff Nickel. The company has teamed up with Footprint, an environmentally-friendly manufacture of recyclable material. "Their goal is to remove most plastics from the environment," says Nickel. Together, the companies are creating new rings, made out of compostable material. It’s much sturdier and better for the environment. The new rings aren’t cheap, but Nickel says it’s worth it. "It's not necessarily money saver,” Nickel explains. “It will cost more money, but it makes sense environmentally long term." MillerCoors is still in testing mode with the new design, but they hope to roll out the new six-pack of recyclable rings in the near future. "Hopefully if we start setting the bar and people will follow," Nickel says. 1330
