We all love fast food – it’s tasty, quick, and usually quite cheap. But one thing we may not have considered is the impact our fast food choices have on the environment, and what the supply chain may be. Is the food from a safe and sustainable source? Are the ingredients sourced from ethical producers? Bareburger is a company that has tackled those issues to find a sustainable food model that doesn’t harm the environment – or at least reduces their impact as much as possible.
The food starts with the farms – they use organic produce from sustainable farmers, and one third of their menu is vegetarian or even plant-based. The meat they use is good quality as well, coming from local farms in Vermont, where the cows are raised ethically. Their turkey is cage-free, too. If you’ve decided to stick to a flexitarian diet and still eat meat, chains which offer this sort of ethical meat production.
Meat off the menu? They stock the beyond burger, a plant-based meat alternative burger, and plenty of other non-meat options, too. Burgers, salads, and even shakes can be made vegan or vegetarian.
Their sustainability does not extend only to their food, but also to their packaging. Opting to avoid less eco-friendly packaging alternatives such as Styrofoam containers and instead choosing to use packaging made of recycled material, recyclable materials such as paper or carton, they have made their cups and bags and containers significantly more eco-friendly than they might otherwise be.
When considering an eco-friendly burger and fast food place, Bareburger is the one you might want to consider when buying food in various locations. Their stores are primarily located in New York, but you can also find some in Ohio, Atlanta, and even in Tokyo and Dubai. Wherever you might be, you know you can probably find something great for the environment – and you!
