| | | McDonalds new green buildings
Well, not so long ago I posted a thread about McDonalds using chip type oil to run vehicles, now this ..... McDonald's waste to power buildings - Go Green - AOL Lifestyle
Looks like a good step to me

Ten out of ten for effort. This also demonstrates the power that we as consumers have to affect the way that companies like McDonald's behave. They only started taking environmental issue seriously after sustained campaigns to raise awareness of the damage done by their intensive cattle farming practices in central and south America.

The amount of paper and cardboard they waste as an international company, Im sure it could produce enough heat for a towns annual needs.
Its good to see that they are in a trial stage for other economical advances.
Ten out of ten for efforts though, shame they cant improve their food.

They should issue rifles at the drive-through to shoot the seagulls and rats that appear at every McDonalds. People throwing scraps and paper cartons out of the car windows only encourage them. Check around the walls of McDonalds (at ground level), bet there are several green or black boxes with holes at each end - rodent traps.
I live around 30 miles from the coast yet the seagull is the most common bird I see. Most of the gulls around here would get seasick if they saw water and our local council now employ a man to shoot the eggs, which they lay on nests on top of buildings in towns throughout the area. |

When macdonalds are selling themselves using the green ticket you now its a marketing con.
Seen the state on Pargue lately? It isnt just rubbish food its also the visual pollution of the golden arches. But the Brits are in there stuffing their faces drunk on stag nights instead of supporting a decent Czech establishment selling local roast duck goulash or rabbit. |

They're still Scumbags. They should be cutting down on all the waste in the first place.
They use poor old worn out dairy cows for their McMurder burgers.
