Listen "The Fast Food Footprint"
Episode Synopsis
Fast food might be quick and cheap, but it comes with a heaping side of packaging waste. In this episode, we unwrap the environmental impact of fast food packaging—from the millions of tons of waste created by global giants like McDonald's to the hidden plastics and PFAs in your favorite takeout. But don’t worry—we’re not just here to bum you out. We’re spotlighting the chains making real progress (hello, Chipotle and A&W!), the innovative city of Petaluma’s reusable cup pilot, and the small ways you can green your on-the-go meals without giving up your fries.
