Electric car plug-in stations are nice, but eliminating drive throughs would have a bigger environmental impact -- and probably help shrink some waistlines by forcing people to walk a few steps and burn some of those calories they are about to consume. Of course, the largest potential sits within their menu, sourcing and transport. Reducing meat options, de-indstrialzing their meat production and sourcing food regionally would go a long way to reducing McDonald's carbon footprint.
