is part of that number.

If it’s part of the 29%, then the benefit of drivethru crackdowns is vanishingly small.

But if the parking problem is intentionally exacerbated, combined with greater investment in public transportation, maybe that would reduce overall driving numbers.

I assume McDonalds would be because the environmental impact of its supply chain is enormous. -- nm - Roger More Oct 10, 07:37 6
- The list of 100 corporations is pretty much all Coal and oil companies. -- nm - Ender Oct 10, 07:43 1
  - Thanks -- nm - Roger More Oct 10, 07:56
- But would that even count drivethru emissions, or just cow farts? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 10, 07:40 3
  - I wouldn’t expect it to include drive thru emissions, but companies like McDonalds can still make decisions that would reduce drive thru emissions. - Roger More Oct 10, 07:46 1
    - McDonalds has enabled app-based ordering which can speed things up. I’m not sure if their two-lane drivethrus reduce emissions. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 10, 07:52
  - (I’d have to read the actual study, but I’m guessing vehicular emissions got attributed to Shell et al) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 10, 07:41
