It’s the end of March, and since this month always reminds me of green—probably because of St. Patrick’s Day and Spring—I thought I’d leave a fun green post.
According to this article on Green Supply Chain Network, McDonald’s UK reports that McDonald’s will be running its delivery fleet on 100% biodiesel that’s made from it’s own cooking oil. Now how’s THAT for creative conservation. The oil will be taken from 900 different McDonald’s restaurants and will be mixed in with pure rapeseed oil. The concoction will be 85% cooking oil and 15% rapeseed oil. The oil will then be used to fuel McDonald’s delivery vehicles.
What I find most interesting is that “the carbon saving of the move will be 1,675 tonnes annually when the national roll-out is completed—the equivelant of removing 2,424 family cars from the road each year.”
Mickey D’s, we salute you!

If you’ve read some of my past posts, you know that I’m the Director of Quality Assurance and am currently developing new software with SCRUM or the Agile Process, if you will. This is a departure from our old Waterfall Methodology, and we’ve so far been very pleased with our new method. One thing I’ve always wanted to ask our customers has to do with past developments and the developments we will make in the future.
In regards to our software, if you could have one thing improved, what would it be?
