Have McDonalds Plant a Tree for Free

171 695 July 29, 2011 at 06:31 PM in Other (2)
Currently McDonald's is running a promo where they will plant up to 100,000 trees in America's forests. They will plant one tree for each code entered from the Apple Dippers that the kids can get in their happy meals. Well... we got two of them and discovered that the codes were the same! So, if you would like to enter a code to have McDonald's plant a tree, go to happymeal.com [happymeal.com] and use the code M4JE-3YKW-7L7J. Smilie

Not to TC the idea of planting tree for free but this is so a publicity stunt.

McD prob gets some kind of tax break for this. And if not, they're getting the brand name out there for good will. Once you have a well established Brand, any positive publicity increases revenue.

Color me skeptical.

It would be nice if the trees ended up on public land, but they'll most likely end up in McD's private plantation where they would have been planted and harvested anyway.

It's easy to say that when you've done nothing. Some of us have.

I will color you ignorant. Even if they get a tax break, it still costs money.

I had time to read this thread and reply to it, but I just can't find time to help plant a tree. Sorry.

I voted Thumbs up, and planted 3 trees, anyone that doesnt take 15 seconds to plant a tree is pathetic.
Aces-anyone who leaves a comment like yours is pathetic. Maybe get a life and then you won't be such an angry little man who has to condemn complete strangers on internet forums all day and night long.

If you actually believe they are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts (or even at all), then you are delusional.

If they really cared they would stop feeding you food infused with hormones and wood pulp.
