Most children like the idea of going to fast food stores like McDonald's or Burger King, not only because of the food they offer, but because of the plastic toys that their children's packages contain inside.
This could change.
Sisters Ella and Caitlin Mc Ewan, aged 9 and 7, launched a petition to the fast food giants and told them to stop putting plastic toys in children's meals.
We don't want plastic toys: girls go to McDonald's and Burger King
After learning at school about the great France Mobile Number List damage that plastics cause to the environment, the sisters say they do not want more plastic toys, especially the ones given away at fast food chains.
This petition has reached more than 343 thousand signatures since its launch. The goal is 500 thousand.
“ We know our young guests really enjoy their King Jr. meals, and we are working on developing more sustainable packaging and alternative solutions for toys ,” Burger King said in a statement.
Burger King has committed to having a more sustainable toy solution by 2020.
For its part, McDonald's said that: "In the UK, over the next six months, our Happy Meal promotions will include a mix of board games, books and soft toys, which will see a reduction of almost 60% in the number of hard plastic toys to be delivered, compared to the first half of the year.”
This is what the petition said:
We like to go to Burger King and McDonald's to eat, but children only play with the plastic toys they give us for a few minutes before they throw them away, harming animals and polluting the sea. “We want everything they give us to be sustainable so that we can protect the planet for ourselves and future generations.”
“ After we learned about the environment and pollution at school, we wanted to do everything we could to help. We put a poster in our window about how to save the planet and we try to recycle everything we can. But we want to do more, so we started this petition. “It is not enough to make recyclable plastic toys: big, rich companies should not be making plastic toys at all . ”
Companies are beginning to take big steps to align with compliance with the 2030 Agenda and have therefore taken action with different measures to prevent global warming from exceeding the limits agreed in the Paris Agreement.
What is McDonald's doing for the future of the planet?
McDonald's started switching from plastic straws to paper straws in the UK and Ireland.
Straws will only be provided to those customers who specifically request their drink at the counter. Through this new initiative, which was approved in several parts of the world, including Colombia and Uruguay, McDonald's aims to avoid the consumption of almost 300 tons of plastic material, based on the results of the pilot project in Colombia, where 6 out of 10 customers preferred to drink the drink without a straw.

McDonald's goal is to recycle packaging delivered to stores in 100% of restaurants by 2025, taking into account the recycling infrastructure, regulations and consumer behaviors in the different cities where the brand operates to be part of the solution and help influence this important change.
What is Burger King doing for the future of the planet?
For more than three years, Burger King, through its parent company Restaurant Brands International, committed to switching exclusively to cage-free chicken eggs and gestation cage-free pork in its supply chain in Latin America by 2025.
This could change.
