I agree with shovel, if you are going through a drive thru let alone going to a fast food place in general, you are already contributing to a system that is so harmful and so wasteful of fossil fuel that deciding whether to go though the drive thru is like deciding whether to apply a band-aid to a decapitation patient. It may sop up a couple cc's of blood? The vehicle and the method by which one drives pales in comparison to the environmental impact of what one chooses (or chooses not) to eat. What food we choose to buy from the market or restaurants could easily be considered a vote for what kind of lifestyle and what kind of wasteful production we want to perpetuate. This kind of election is one where not voting counts as a vote against.
