McDonald’s has announced the opening of its first ‘Net Zero’ restaurant in Shropshire, UK. The company’s announcement is part of the plan to reduce carbon emissions by 20240. The company claims that vegan food prepared from the plant will also be available in the restaurant. The new branch is currently close to being ready. Carbon dioxide gas works together with greenhouse gases to warm the earth, which rapidly increases the risk of climate change.
The company said that the fast food chain will have its first net zero restaurant and it has planned to reduce carbon emissions, that is, there will be no more greenhouse gas emissions. The packing of food will be made from recycled materials, then after its use, the packing can be recycled and made usable. McDonald’s currently operates 1300 restaurants in the UK. The company’s intention is to take carbon emissions to zero level by 2040.
He named his program ‘Plan for Change’. McDonald’s UK and Ireland Head Paul Pomroy said the new vision for change is not only part of a sustainable strategy, but a priority for our industry. This means that the intention is not for any one but for many people. McDonald’s has a long history of handling matters related to community services.
But at this time we also need to intensify our ambition and work harder to take care of each other along with the earth. Meat substitutes such as products made from soy help the environment by reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Environmental damage due to excessive use of non-veg also contributes to deforestation, which is another major case of environmental problem.
Greenhouse gases are mainly responsible for the increase in temperature. There are 6 major greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere. Also includes emissions of carbon, including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride. These gases are proving to be helpful in increasing the temperature of the earth. Due to the increase of these gases in the atmosphere, a thick layer is being formed. It is preventing excessive heating, as a result of which the temperature of the earth is increasing.
