Dear Inhabitat,

I used to enjoy reading your site until you started publishing these ridiculous “Is it Green?” articles. Do you really need to write an article arguing that Exxon and McDonald’s don’t meet your standards for sustainability? Your attempts to write these “unbiased” articles are an insult to web journalism.

As long as you continue this series of articles, I can no longer take Inhabitat seriously.

Sincerely,
Michael

If you don’t want to support MacDonalds, don’t buy their products!

I don’t!

I agree. McDonald’s is so huge that any attempt to mitigate their impact on the environment is helpful. I would also point out that this further legitimizes the green movement in the eyes of industry and the public. They are making changes for the better and providing good publicity for the cause. They’re trying to clean up their act. Cut them some slack.

I think the thing to keep in mind is that companies aren’t divided into “green” and “not green”. there’s a whole continuum of greenness, and while mcdonalds is never going to be as green as the local granola shop, just becoming a bit more green is still an improvement. People shouldn’t stop eating at the granola shop and switch over to mcdonalds, but all the people already eating at mcdonalds will now be eating slightly greener.

Since when does a companies greenness depend on PETA’s blessing?

The more pertinent question is; Does America care if it is green or not?

Look! 99¢ Double Cheese Burgers!

I think no one is truly GREEN. At less MCDonalss is making an effort but have too many people crying over what they should do in order to be Green. When Gas is made from Water then we can all be free from being call non-eocfriendly. Get off of McDonald’s back!!
