McDonald’s ha sido la última cadena de restaurantes en el Reino Unido que se ha sumado a la lucha contra las pajitas de plástico, que suponen un verdadero problema para el ecosistema de nuestro planeta. La empresa de hamburguesas ha anunciado en sus cuentas de medios sociales que comienza un periodo de prueba de las pajitas de papel en sustitución de las de plástico (reciclable) que mantendrán detrás del mostrador y solo darán si el cliente las pide.
De este modo, la cadena de comida rápida pretende “ir en verde”. Y las reacciones a este anuncio, muy compartido y comentado en la Red, no se han hecho esperar. Aunque la mayoría aplaude la medida adoptada, en concordancia con la lucha global contra el desperdicio de plástico en locales, supermercados y restaurantes, muchos seguidores/clientes piden y exigen a McDonald’s que intensifique su compromiso y que, por ejemplo, elimine también otros objetos de plástico como los globos o los envases de algunos de sus productos.
A continuación, compartimos con vosotros algunas de las reacciones más significativas en Twitter:
We’re pleased to announce that from May we’ll be trialling paper straws in restaurants and moving our recyclable plastic straws behind the counter https://t.co/VniO8pwr9t

Great start @McDonaldsUK @McDonaldsUKNews ….Balloons next please? Found this one on the Farne Islands, a huge hazard to seabirds and other animals. Would love to see you phase these out. pic.twitter.com/YNrjpuOeiR

A move in the right direction though you need to do so, so much more and in double quick time too otherwise you'll be left behind economically.

Your plastic straws are garbage and NOT recyclable. No MRF will capture them. It's a start, and I thank you for that.

Fast food giant McDonald's is to start phasing out plastic straws from its UK restaurants and says it is "really close" to the point where all its packaging can be recycled https://t.co/1NeTCp4Cmn

So, good news about the plastic, the rest of their packaging may eventually be fully recyclable but as it will be contaminated by food/grease etc it will go for incineration/landfill anyway. – once they have picked it out of the hedge!

Great! But we must rethink even more! Can be recycled does not men no litter and pollution! People are littering and trash find its way into nature anyway! We must only use materials that breaks down in nature!
