We wanted to update people about the responses we have had from the girls writing to and emailing both Burger King and McDonalds about their petition. 

This is the response the girls had from Burger King (below).  Sadly they McDonalds just sent an automated email.   The girls would really like to hear back from them both and to meet them to discuss their petition.  If you have time please tweet or email them both about this.  Thank you!

Dear Ella & Caitlin,

Thank you for taking the time to contact BURGER KING® Guest Relations.

We appreciate in our modern climate, plastic consumption is a big issue and is something we as a brand need to review. It's great to see your research into the subject and also to see your compassion for the world that we live in.

Whilst we can't advise of any changes at the moment, we have forwarded your comments through to our management team so we can review the matter. We again appreciate the seriousness of the matter and hope we can make some changes in the future.

We value your opinion and look forward to serving you again in the near future.   

Kind regards,   

BURGER KING® Guest Relation
