Tinkering with Packaging: McDonalds Looking For Ways to Suck Less

McDonalds is a GIANT corporation. I read somewhere that 27,000,000 people eat at the Golden Arches every day. I’m no fast food saint- I admit a lifelong love affair with the Big Mac. I know how disgustingly unhealthy they are (and everything else they serve), I’ve seen Super Size Me a bunch of times, but damn it all if it’s not tasty.

Anyways, McDonalds is responsible for a lot of solid waste via those 27 million daily customers and I guess they’ve been working to reduce the impact from all those thrown away fry containers and to-go bags. Here’s a video I found at Environmental Leader of Jennifer McCracken, environmental manager for McDonald’s global packing supplier showing some of the ways they are trying to make their negative eco foot print less devastating.
