~Need to fuel your stomach, but don’t have time for a long pit stop?
The Bite
Make it fast, and keep on truckin’. When you’re on the road, fast-food restaurants aren’t usually the greenest or healthiest option – but no matter where you stop, you can make your meal a little bit better for you and the planet.
The Benefits
*A tidier big rig. Take just what you need; how many of the 11 billion Heinz ketchup packets sold annually are just collecting dust in your glove box?
*Three honks for less gas use. Most drivers use more than 2 billion gallons of fuel each year while idling (in drive-throughs and otherwise) – and idling creates twice the emissions of a car in motion.
*Truck-stopping global warming. Some major fast-food chains are switching to wind power for their energy, use only sustainable wood for stores, and incorporate organic ingredients.
Personally Speaking
In business, a starving person caved and went to McDonald’s for fries (sans big bag and ketchup) for the first time in at least five years…and that person admit that they were better than he remembered.
