Stop Global McWarming: No Hummer Toys
McDONALD'S SHOULDN'T PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION
BY GIVING AWAY TOY HUMMER GAS-GUZZLERS
[From the Union of Concerned Scientists <http://www.ucsusa.org>]
Even as gas prices and global warming are starting to change American
consumers' attitudes on fuel economy, McDonalds' "Hummer of a Summer"
campaign is peddling toy versions of the iconic gas-guzzling H1, H2, and
H3 SUVs. Ironically, this promotion targets kids - a group especially at
risk from the myriad respiratory and heat-related illnesses caused by
smog-forming and global warming pollution from autos.
In 2003, Union of Concerned Scientists activists successfully pressured
McDonald's to cut back its purchases of meat from suppliers who overuse
antibiotics that are important to fighting human disease. Now tell Don
Thompson, Chief Operations Officer of McDonald's USA, to demonstrate
support for children's health and the environment by removing the Hummer
toys from its Happy Meals and Mighty Kids Meals.
