I wonder…Term ProjectIntroductionI wonder what negative impact the fast food industry has had on the environment. Nowadays, the fast food industry has become one of the largest industries in the world. More and more fast food restaurants are opening their doors as the number of people consuming fast food increases. For example, within a mile radius of where I live, there are more than seven fast food restaurants, and most people I know eat fast food at least once a week. Since we all live in the same atmosphere, if the fast food industry had negative impacts on the environment, it would affect the well-being of the entire society. This is why it is a topic that concerns people around the world. Therefore, the purpose of this research paper is to learn more about the topic, in order to hopefully be able to adjust my eating habits and influence my friends to adjust their eating habits in order to protect the environment.HypothesisI think that the Fast food industry is directly responsible for emissions that contribute to the greenhouse effect. First of all, most fast food restaurants do not consume local agricultural products. To maximize their profits, most supplies for fast food chains are shipped from company warehouses, which are sometimes hundreds of miles from restaurants, and the freight trucks used to ship the supplies directly contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. effect. At the same time, fast food chains are, to my knowledge, made up of factory farmed products, which I think will have more of an impact on the environment than old school farmed products.ResearchAccording the article "The Carnivore's Dilemma", In the United States, most carbon dioxide emissions...... middle of paper ...... everyday foods require a lot of energy and release a lot of greenhouse gases to be produced. This is why we should stop wasting food, eat less meat and eat more locally grown foods.BibliographyFiala, Nathan. “How meat contributes to global warming.” The American science magazine.
