VentureBeat: McDonald’s attempts to go green with help from EV charging co. Coulomb

    How ironic that McDonalds is trying to become green. It would be pretty crazy if their efforts came to fruition, healthy and eco-friendly are not words I asosciate with McDonalds.

    Green Junk Food that's what I call. Just get your bags and go to local green good store get real food and cook at home. This is just a store for getting diabetes and unhealthy life.

    I applaud it -- Mickey D's, for those old enough to recall the 1970's, moves so many industries. When they traded styrene for paper in the 1970's and 1980's, the entire industry moved, from supply, to competition, to landfills. Amazing. And Camille -- well-written. Missing some of the old MG-like snark and pithy inside baseball jokes, but well-done. As opposed to the 10 garbled syntax and dozen grammar errors in this one (think it was translated from Finnish, or something)

    I think that this could be huge for electric vehicles. Right now one of the greatest barriers they are facing is the lack of charging stations. And we all know, that no matter how much bad press McDonalds gets, they willalways have enough of an influence to make an impact. Here is a link for anyone interested in reading more about electric vehicles and charging stations.

    This is completely counter- intuitive to McDonald's entire business philosophy- to efficiently sell food at a low cost while still maintaining a hefty profit margin. All things relevant to the well- being of human life are ignored if they interfere with profits.

    Fortunately, businesses are being forced to move towards greener standards and McDonald's can't afford NOT to jump on this greenwashing wagon. But until McDonald's ethically redesigns their business model, no amount of solar paneling are recharging stations will make up for the magnitude of environmental stress they perpetuate through their demand for factory farmed meat.
