In Madison, Wisconsin, there's an agency called the Center on Wisconsin Strategy (COWS, get it--isn't that annoyingly clever). They like to take surveys and weigh in on stuff and some of it is mildly interesting.
Today, I heard on public radio that one of their researchers has a new proposal to lower our carbon footprint or some such worthiness. Ban drivethru lanes.
Got sleeping kids in the car and just wanna grab some McDonald's? Wanna grab some joe to get your get-up-and-go going? Too bad. Park, get out of the car into the (sometimes) -20 weather, walk into the restaurant, order, pay, and then juggle the whole mess as you climb back into your car. Start the car up again and finally head off again.
This is the best strategy they've got?

I'm still in love with your drive through cash points.
More on topic, I imagine a more comprehensive public transport system would be more useful.
Yes! I agree.
By the way, did you notice that most of the driveup cash machines have instructions and keys in Braille?
