Environmental Harm (4/10)

The negative impact of fast food isn’t limited to individuals; it extends to the planet.

Deforestation and Agriculture

Fast food chains often rely on cheap meat, leading to large-scale deforestation for grazing land and soybean cultivation (used as animal feed).

• Loss of forests contributes to climate change and habitat destruction.

Packaging Waste

Fast food generates a significant amount of waste, including plastic wrappers, containers, and utensils.

• Single-use plastics contribute to pollution in oceans and landfills.

Carbon Footprint

The production, transportation, and preparation of fast food involve high energy consumption, increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
