grease to green.

who would of thought- mcdonald's- of all restaurants- will be opening up their first 'green' restaurant that will provide electric vehicle charging. lucky for us north carolinans- it will be opening up in cary, nc on july 14th!

'the mcdonald’s features an array of green technologies and is designed to use as much daylight as possible, comes equipped with highly efficient water and kitchen fixtures, and uses drought tolerant plants. the fitout makes use of materials like sunflower seed boards, wheat boards, bamboo and kirei boards. recycled materials were used in the construction of the building, and an energy efficiency dashboard provides real time updates about the restaurant’s green stats to guests.'
