"green" winds in the restaurant delivery market.

-
There is also an eco-friendly wind blowing in the food delivery market. By introducing ultra-small electric vehicles and electric bikes, delivery means are becoming "green."

McDonald's announced on the 22nd that it will replace all motorcycles used by MacDealbury, a delivery service, with eco-friendly electric motorcycles by 2021.

"Electric bikes are not only energy-saving, but also next-generation vehicles with no smoke or noise," McDonald's said. "We will replace 1,400 vehicles based on direct management with electric bikes over the next three years." McDonald's first replaced about 40 motorcycles in Jeju with electric motorcycles at the end of last year.

Earlier, restaurants such as BBQ, a chicken franchise that used delivery motorcycles, and Mr. Pizza also introduced ultra-small electric cars.

The ultra-small electric car is one-seater, one-third the size of a regular car. However, it is relatively safer than a motorcycle because it is equipped with an in-vehicle protective device, a four-point safety belt and an airbag. In particular, it can load up to 180 liters and 75 kilograms, making it easy to deliver long distances and groups.

The introduction of eco-friendly delivery measures has a significant effect on reducing air pollutants and carbon emissions. "Electric cars can reduce the burden on self-employed people with low fuel costs (KRW 20,000 to 30,000 per month) and help improve the air environment," a BBQ official said.

According to McDonald's, switching one regular engine motorcycle to an electric motorcycle reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 669 kilograms per year. McDonald's expects the replacement plan to reduce its annual carbon dioxide emissions by about 937 tons.

"This is the effect of planting 87,000 pine trees," a McDonald's official said. "It will not only help preserve the environment, save energy, but also improve the residential environment."

Why a healthy diet saves the Earth?

  "To prevent climate change from collapsing, we should reduce beef consumption by 90 percent." The report is based on a recent report published in the world-renowned scientific journal Nature. If the current eating habits are not improved, the ecological environment will be destroyed beyond the reach of 10 billion people in 2050. This warns that a change in eating habits is not a "choice" but a "must" to prevent climate change. A small 'food revolution' that begins with food choices actually has a tremendous impact on the Earth. It's hard to believe, but this is to save the Earth, which is suffering from pollution in water, soil, air and sea. Healthy diets, in particular, are a necessary change for modern people who are overcalorie and undernourished. A plant-based diet, healthier organic purchases, and waste-free food preparation keep the body healthy while also saving the Earth. 　 1. Enjoy a vegetarian diet　 　 The aforementioned report is a ...

The meat tax that Europe is worried about, if we actually introduce it...?

  While European governments, including Denmark, Sweden and Germany, are considering the so-called meat tax, studies have shown that imposing heavy taxes on actual meat significantly reduces deaths and medical costs. The BBC and other foreign media reported on the 7th (local time) that a research team at Oxford University analyzed the impact of the introduction of "meat tax" on deaths and medical costs in 149 countries that consume meat. The researchers conducted the study assuming that the government of high-income countries imposes 20 percent tax on meat and 110 percent tax on meat processed foods. In doing so, consumers in high-income countries expected to cut meat consumption by two people a week. As a result, the number of deaths per year across the country will decrease by 220,000 and medical-related costs will decrease by 30.6 billion pounds (about 45 trillion won). The research team also predicted that if the British government applies 14 percent tax rates to meat and...

  The WWF announced on the 30th that it will publish Living Planet Report 2018 in 89 countries including Korea at the same time. The report, published every other year by WWF, comprehensively sheds light on the impact of various human consumption and development activities on species and forests, oceans, rivers and climate change throughout the globe. It is widely cited by various governments and research institutes as references. The contents of this year's report were analyzed based on the latest data collected until 2014. The Global Life Report revealed how excessive agriculture, foreign species and new diseases affected biodiversity, health and population. The "unsustainable development" of mankind has dealt an all-round blow to the oceans, forests, coral reefs and wetlands. Twenty percent of the Amazon jungle has disappeared in just 50 years, and coral reefs have halved in 30 years. In particular, the number of vertebrates living on Earth has decreased by 60 percent ...
