Gary Granada’s grudge with Ronald McDonald
We commend the group of Gary Granada and their crusade for the reduction of styrofoam or polystyrene in fast-food chains here in the Philippines. It goes without saying that our environment needs all the help it can get. That and the ill effects of styrofoam or polystyrene on our health.
Some food chains started using reusable plates, reusable platter baskets, and cardboard boxes. McDonald’s on the other hand, hasn’t come up with something yet which prompted the group of Mr. Granada to conduct a dialogue with them.
..that McDonald’s reduce the use of styrofoam by 50% within one year. McDonald’s has once again demonstrated its arrogance and incapacity to appreciate the sincere and constructive efforts of common folks to protect our environment. Unlike them, we do not make money doing what little we can to help make things a little better for everybody.

Isn’t McDonald’s that popularized Granada’s rendition of Pana-panahon in one of their advertisements?

I support the group of Garry Granada..its about time that we have to take an active role. Not only for MacDo but let us contribute by not just throwing cigarette butts, candy wrappers, junk food plastics, etc. anywhere. I think, we should contribute the best way we can. As the Bible states ” God shall destroy those people who destroys the earth”.

what has happened to this crusade? i dont doubt mr granada’s intentions, however, the lack of follow through may seem dubious to other people… it can misconstrued as a mere publicity effort. it seems that mcdonalds is unfazed by this and still continues to use styro. the most important part in a campaign like this is follow through
