This weeks Tech Travel Roundup looks at the United States newest additions to the tech tourism world. From fast food to fast transportation this weeks edition look at two projects currently under construction that represent the future of the U.S. and the world! First stop is Chicago were McDonald’s has plans to construct an environmentally friendly McDonald’s. Energy is one of McDonald’s biggest expenditures, over a billion dollars is spent to power McDonald’s all around the world every year. The new eco-friendly McDonald’s will collect rain water, harvest solar power, and is constructed of sustainable recycled material. McDonald’s has always been on the cutting edge when it comes to fast food, it will be interesting to watch their sustainable developments be rolled out, the question remains is this the future of McDonald’s or a publicity stunt?
