Fast Food Waste

Progress is Slow on Reducing, Reusing and Recycling Fast Food Waste

Along with burgers, tacos and french fries, fast food restaurants serve up a mountain of paper, plastic and Styrofoam waste every day. Fast food waste is a growing problem, as fast food chains expand and open new restaurants around the world. Some fast food companies have taken voluntary steps to reduce, reuse or recycle their waste, but is that enough? Do we need stronger regulations to govern fast food waste?

PERSONAL COMMENT:

I really like eating at Mcdonalds near our school. Almost everyday me and my friends eat there, lunch break and before we go home. Foods are serve in a Styrofoam, plastic cups, plastic spoon and fork. After we finished our meal, we just left our messes. The crew just put it in trash. If it happens everyday, we can have a huge amount of trash of plastics and Styrofoam. Me and my friends prefer to bring "baon's" in school. We can save a lot of money and we can help lessen the Styrofoam and plastics used in the Fast Food.
