    Hot take: when an F-350 idles in a Wendy’s drive through for 5-10 minutes to get a burger, fries and drink all in their own container, the recyclable/compostable paper bag to hold it all together probably isn’t the problem. But that’s just a guess.

      Then go after both problems?

      Big cities in Canada should also charge inefficient vehicles operating within urban centers (downtown Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal). In other places, this is enforced by license plate registration and discourages the operation of inefficient vehicles within downtown urban areas.

      Indeed. And just because I was feeling snarky and annoyed about the 15 cent charge, I asked for extra napkins one time and they gave me enough extra paper napkins to easily have made a paper bag out of. The burger comes in its own cardboard box. The fries have their own cardboard box. It’s such a silly and pointless thing that’s clearly just being done so that they can say they’re “doing something.”
