KIJK | Een bakfiets? Dit is hoe de McDonald's afval wil beperken

Niet iedereen is blij met de komst van een McDonald’s mét McDrive in Raalte. Buurtbewoners maken zich zorgen over rommel langs de weg en lawaai ‘s avonds laat. De fastfoodteken belooft daar iets aan te doen: een werknemer gaat fulltime met een elektrische bakfiets de buurt in om afval op te ruimen.

Ebikes are magical. Cargo bikes are magical.
Put them together and you have one of the most powerful ways to decarbonise our cities and make them safer, quieter, cleaner and so much more FUN.

Oxford Clarion @oxfordclarion.bsky.social · 7d

Electric cargo bikes can replace many everyday car trips for the average family and “reshape suburban family mobility”, say Oxford University researchers. 49 British households were loaned e-cargo bikes for school runs, shopping trips, family outings and other day-to-day use.

Al die keren nul journalisten belaagd, geen politieagent mishandeld, geen auto in de fik gestoken, geen hitlergroeten gebracht, geen fascistische leuzen geuit.

Dit is het volk dat niet gehoord wordt. Maar ze laten zich niet muilkorven. Volgende keer een half miljoen!

Kort stukje, even kijken/luisteren. Man man! En dat dit uitgerekend bij WNL gebeurt!
Want vergis je niet, de reden dat Wilders en Plas er vrijelijk op los liegen is: ze hebben alle vertrouwen dat journalisten op tv dit zelden zo doen. Terwijl het zo simpel is, laat Frank van Leeuwen zien.
