6 Ways to Make Your Fast Food Meal a Green One

Waste is just another part of the food chain loop that can get in the way of a business’s green efforts. Beyond just composting, Chipotle has a two-pronged approach to restaurant waste. First, they donate used equipment from their restaurants, like grills and food processors, to local schools and nonprofits so that they stay out of landfills. Second, with the Harvest Program, they donate leftover food to local community organizations -- over seven million meals to 1,000 organizations. That’s a lot of guacamole.
