Currently watching my cholesterol levels for the month of July. As the doctors ordered, strictly I need to stop myself from consuming fast food products such as burgers and fries and anything fried with too much cheese. Loathing fast food sometimes make sense.

LLDA shuts down 3 restos for pollution | Manila Standard Today

LLDA shuts down 3 restos for pollution | Manila Standard Today

I never thought that I would hear this kind of news again. It was for this reason that I started this blog around three years ago. Three years ago,  I was part of the LLDA Technical Working Group (TWG) for the development of effluent standards for the industry.

The point of the TWG was to develop specific effluent standards applicable to the quick serve restaurant.  I am not sure if such standards were really developed. BOD of 1000 mg/L has been common among QSR and other restaurant establishment, but the point is efforts within the facilities must be implemented or any means of pollution prevention must be integrated in the system prior to final discharge.  The QSR group is lobbying for raising the lowering the effluent standard from 50 mg/L BOD to 500 mg/L BOD. Since it is more than three years and I have no communication with the people involved in the TWG, I am not sure what progress has been made.

Re-accessing Fast Food Greenwash

Blogger has changed its format and I could not seem to access my fastfood greenwash blog for quite some time. I even RIPd it in wordpress blog Ecomaray. It is such a relief to know that my old posts were not lost and I can still find those thoughts that erupted after my short but productive stint in the fast food industry.

Looking at Job Boards, McDonald's Corporation is currently looking for a Sustainability Manager based in their corporate offices. It is a good start, but hopefully they won't get that manager from the radical left. With the impacts of climate change now being felt, fast foods must change their strategies to ensure survival.


I am still thinking about getting hosted url...but not for now, I'm just in survival mode. Some housekeeping has to be done for now.

Blessed Unrest

I have decided in the long run that I do not want to spend the rest of my life working for the fast food industry. I am in the process of reading Paul Hawken's Blessed Unrest on the part of how corporations have maintained their power grip on society for them to continuously exist.
