Valerie Johnson: Welcome to the new McDonald’s.
Customer: It’s nice. It’s a lot cleaner. I think a lot more room.
And it’s a first impression shared by many over a 30-year-old McDonald’s that was remodeled to 1)feature environmentally 2)progressive materials and operating systems.
Valerie: We wanted to make it more of a contemporary look and feel, so we started to look at the options and learn more about the green technology.
That led Valerie Johnson and her mother and business partner, Val Netlan, to a Michigan company that specializes in 3)sustainable design.
Wrapping around the modern design concept was the goal of 4)implementing as many green materials and systems throughout the building as possible. No more 5)cumbersome booths here, no 6)Hamburglars or Grimaces on the wall, either. Customers will see a dining room composed of renewable products such as bamboo and recycled glass 7)complemented by environmentally friendly building materials and booths, seating and tiles all 8)illuminated with low-9)voltage LED lighting.
Valerie: You know, it’s progressive, it’s forward-thinking, it’s…it’s contemporary, it has elements of European elements brought into it, very clean and 10)streamlined elements instead of, you know, crown moldings and more traditional elements of interiors in the past.
Valerie adds that it’s not uncommon for some of those customers to stop and thank her for creating such an inviting 11)atmosphere. And customers should also be happy to know that the cost-savings of the more efficient operating systems in the building, over time will help keep prices low, which could mean a long life for things like the 12)dollar menu.
瓦莱丽·约翰逊：欢迎光临全新麦当劳。
顾客：非常漂亮，干净多了，我觉得这里更宽敞了。
许多人都对这家有三十年历史的麦当劳店持此相同的第一印象。这家麦当劳刚重新装修过，其显著特点就是应用了先进的环保材料和操作系统。
瓦莱丽：我们的设想是让它看起来更具现代感，所以我们考虑了不同的选择，了解了不少关于绿色科技的资讯。
瓦莱丽·约翰逊和母亲瓦尔·内特兰同时还是生意上的伙伴，她们联系了密歇根州一家专做可持续设计的公司。
围绕当代设计理念所体现的目标，就是在建筑中尽可能多地运用绿色材料和系统。这家全新麦当劳摈弃了笨重的卡座，墙上的汉堡神偷和奶昔大哥形象也被摘掉了。顾客将看到一个用再生材料搭建成的用餐区，包括竹子和回收玻璃等环保建筑材料，这里的卡座、椅子和瓷砖都是用低压LED节能灯提供照明的。
瓦莱丽：你可以看到，这里的设计是先进的，具有前瞻性、富有当代气息的，它融合了欧洲风格的元素，洁净、质朴，一改以往那种天花线条的传统室内装修设计。
瓦莱丽补充说道，有的顾客特意向她致谢，感谢她打造出如此吸引人的气氛——这一点是非常难得的。从长远来看，这些建筑所使用的高效低成本操作系统有助于降低产品价格，这也许有助延长“一元菜单”的寿命，这点应该也会让顾客感到高兴。

美国《时代》周刊评选出2010年“50个最佳发明”，涉及科学技术、交通、医疗健康、生物工程、绿色能源、服装、机器人与软件以及军事等领域，苹果iPad、飞行汽车、喷气飞行包等均榜上有名。
英国Xeros公司研制出一种新型洗衣机，使用可以吸污的尼龙粉，需水量最多可减少90%，成为绿色能源领域的最佳发明。商用型的免水洗衣机预计明年上市。
