McDonald's makes greener restaurants
Peel back the wrapping on that slimy, greasy, sloppy Mc-whatever, take in its alluring aroma, and think to yourself: this burger is doing its part for the planet.Seriously. Given its reputation for giving heart attacks to half the world's fast-food munching adults, McDonald's is probably the last multi-national uber-corporation you'd expect to be cleaning up its act. But apparently the restaurant chain has jumped on the green bandwagon, and is using its 31,000 locations as laboratories for green initiatives.
In Switzerland, you'll find dry urinals that cut water consumption, and in the UK, the oil that cooked your fries is later used as biodiesel for McDonald's delivery trucks -- the company even built a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified location in Savannah, Georgia.
Not too shabby. Next step: stop making people fat.
