"On the Menu for McDonald’s: Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions" [1]

"NEW YORK — The company behind the golden arches wants to get greener.

McDonald’s said Tuesday it’s taking steps to cut the greenhouse gases it emits, including tweaking the way the beef in its Big Macs and Quarter Pounders is produced.

The world’s largest burger chain said it expects the changes to prevent 150 million metric tons (165 million tons) of greenhouse gas emissions from being released into the atmosphere by 2030, equal to taking 32 million cars off the road for a year."
