A Green McDonald’s in Lindora?

McDonald’s has opened its third “green” restaurant in the world in Via Lindora, a booming area of high-end strip malls west of San Jose. The restaurant was, according to the engineer in this video (Spanish only) built to the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED standards, which is the current standard for “green buildings.”

The only information I have to go off is the video that I linked above. As it stands, it’s a nice promotional piece for the restaurant that details all of the ecologically friendly efforts used in building this place, but makes no attempt to actually prove that they work.

Will the next stop for McDonald’s be healthful food opitions and environmental education for all? Doubt it.
