where it all goes

( beautiful view isn't it ? just takes your breath away...  o.O )








Almost 10 percent of the foods in fast food restaurants are thrown out, according to a study by Timothy Jones, a University of Arizona archaeologist.

Food scraps make up approximately 52 percent of fast food restaurant's trash.

The clean water action ( CWA) found that the biggest source (49 percent) of litter is fast food. The five most significant sources were McDonald's, Burger King, Seven Eleven, Starbucks and Wendy’s. Up to 31 percent, according to CWA’s findings, of the trash collected could be eliminated by reusable alternatives.

We believe although some restaurants and fast food places are trying to develop a cleaner form of waste management, they need to try HARDER! you guys with me ?! spread the word to burger king, McDonald's, and all the other fast food places near you by spreading your knowledge on composting or on how to reduce food waste... help them help the environment!
