cardboard and cows
Tuesday, March 08, 2005
whilst sitting in burger king at the weekend, it frustrated me how much paper waste was being chucked away. gone are the days when burger boxes were simply solid cfc's, nowadays everything is paper - cups, burger boxes, chip bags, serviettes, even the wasted-tree of a poster they put on your tray.
the amount of food waste in the bins must be really small in comparison to the amount of paper, yet there's no indication it gets recycled.
also, despite mcdonalds trying to reinvent it's image as an environmentally friendly 'restaurant', the image of replacing trees with cows in south america that i saw on newsround all those years ago has remained. i'm pretty sure not much has changed.
