Joining the legions of businesses jumping aboard the green bandwagon, McDonald's - forever to be associated with fast, cheap and out of control food - is becoming part of the solution. It is planning on powering all of its truck in the United Kingdom with bio-diesel conveniently created from its own plentiful used vegetable oil. In the next year, McDonald's intends to create enough fuel for 155 UK delivery vehicles and have some left over to sell to the public (perhaps in Happy Meals?). The fuel itself will 85% waste vegetable oil and 15% virgin rapeseed oil. Best of all, it will be 100% carbon neutral.
Senior VP of McDonald's UK Matthew Howe says: "As we get better at the refinement we will be able to remove virgin rape from the process." (Emphasis mine.)
But... yikes!
