Golden Arches

Any news worthy story. Good things to watch at the Cinema, Theatre, on TV or have you read a good book lately?

Home of the Toucan burger & roadside rubbish special.

I once asked their staff about the "recycling" of waste materials from meals they were apparantly boasting about, she said she thought it meant burnt in a power-station.

Not really close to recycling then eh!?

No thanks.

I don't go in or drive thru. Yet its a first. All the fast food chains have huge rubbish problems. Mostly down to ignorant consumers of course.

A strange one this and it felt odd to post it!

Have any of you watched the movie 'food inc'?

Reading the article, it is only the construction of the building which is net zero, not its supply chains or the its operation.

The only spin is in the prese release. There is no spin in non-rotating VWAT (pun intended). Any half decent publicity officer would have managed a photo of the building in the sunshine instead of on a dark rainy evening.

It really DOES MEAN NOTHING..
When McDonalds has long opening hours (some 24 hrs) & all those cars, vans, trucks queuing (engines on) waiting for McSHite orders which folk these days think nothing driving miles for (not the "occasional" treat of old)

Makes you wish councils just stuck traffic wardens there & slapped fines out to the muppets.

SO many emissions, hmm perhaps I should take a meter to a queue & get some readings & ring them in to the council.
