Slowly, the food and restaurant industries are starting to move away from red meat. The plant-based Impossible Burger is cropping up on menus from gourmet restaurants like Manhattan’s Momofuku Nishi to White Castle. The burger chain Sonic debuted a blended option that’s half mushroom, half meat. Now a Swedish chain is taking it a step further through a new, ambitious carbon offsetting program that will actually improve the planet with each burger sold. Claiming their burgers will be the world’s first “climate positive” burgers, the company will plant enough trees to offset 110 percent of the carbon emissions associated with its business.
