McDonald's Packaging

Take a good look at the figures in the table above and remember that packaging = rubbish.

Our peninsula is a fragile enough system without adding to its issues by dramatically increasing the amount of rubbish generated here.

Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish!

Thanks to Ray Beech of Rye who took the following photos and posted them on Facebook:

In Ray's words:

"SORRENTO: Welcome to Maccas! Nearest maccas is 15km away, yet 8.30am 30th April, you have it on the doorstep. Imagine what it will be like if a Macca opens at Rye! "Quick grab a Burger, coke and fries before the ferry; chuck the rubbish out on the way"

McDonalds cares! NOT!

On a recent visit to Adelaide we found the following article in the local paper. It seems that McDonalds doesn't care enough about rubbish to even bother cleaning up inside their own stores where their paying customers are. Imagine how little they care about what goes on outside if it gets in the way of profits..
