Clean up Prostate Cancer

I haven’t let you have a look inside my bag yet. This one is about ½ full.

Before you start muttering about  MacDonalds. They are one of the most active of the big take away companies in attempting to control litter. They schedule collections around their outlets, get involved in community litter initiatives as well as providing bins etc. The company is massive with incredible sales and so, proportionately, rubbish from their outlets is likely to make up a larger proportion of street litter.

But has littering anything to do with the company selling the product? Perhaps they could work harder at using less packaging and ensuring that it is all readily biodegradable. However, lets lay the blame where is belongs – with the few customers who don’t care what happens to the rubbish left after their meal. By buying the products, they take responsibility for making sure our wonderful World is not blighted with the disposable packaging, napkins, cups cutlery, hand wipes etc they own and chuck down without thought.

Middle aged woman stomps down from her soapbox. Wonder when I can raise the subject of cotton buds?

 

Did you know?

Usain Bolt ate a chilli chicken wrap the night before 100m final at the London Olympics in 2012. Didn’t do him any harm as he raced to his second gold medal in the event.

During 2012 Olympics the 2 MacDonald restaurants on the Olympic Park served
2.5m meals.

1 in 8 workers in the US has been employed by MacDonalds. 1 in 8 men in the UK will experience Prostate Cancer

You would have to walk continuously for 7 hours to burn the calories in a Big Mac, fries and a supersized Coke

The last time I ate MacDonalds I decided never to do so again.
I haven’t altered that intention.
