McDonald’s is planning to cut its greenhouse gas emissions so that the company is net-zero emissions by the year 2050.

The restaurant shared on Monday that it is partnering with the nonprofit organization Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to help revamp its climate change focus and meet the new goal.

“We believe we have both a privilege and a responsibility to help lead on issues that matter most in communities – and there is no issue more urgent globally and of impact locally than protecting our planet for generations to come,” McDonald’s President and CEO Chris Kempczinski said in a statement.

Well that’s the great part of their corporate model. They don’t transport their product, they have a handful of approved companies that the franchise owners pay to ship the product. All that stuff at stores, that’s the franchise owner, not Corporate. It’s easy to be net zero when your company doesn’t actually do anything. Solar panels and a bunch of tree at corporate headquarters will take care of that.

Not possible. Plus, who’s going to remember something they said in thirty years?

Why would I waste gas to drive to a McDonald's to get a dollar soda

Well, let's see. You might be out driving somewhere, and become thirsty.

"Well, let's see. You might be out driving somewhere, and become thirsty."

If that ever happened, I'd head home, and not go to a fast-food drive-thru, to purchase the watered down crap they sell. Besides, none of them carry caffeine-free Diet Pepsi, which is what I drink. Most quick stops don't carry it either, so when I travel anywhere farther than an hour from home, I bring a cooler and a bottle of soda with me. But I usually never get thirty, and even if I did, I'd pop a Brach's sugar-free cinnamon hard candy into my mouth.

Nothing says zero emissions like soylent green.

Soylent green eliminates toxic humans from the planet and recycles them.

Go McDonalds!

;-)
