The UK's most sustainable restaurants are revealed - and it's bad news for KFC ... trends now
From cycling instead of driving, to choosing a refillable water bottle over plastic, many of us try to do our bit to help the environment.
But if you're a regular visitor to Greggs or KFC, you may unknowingly be reversing all your hard work.
Which? has revealed the most sustainable restaurants in the UK, with KFC and Greggs coming at the bottom of the list.
In contrast, Wahaca has been named the most sustainable chain thanks to its impressive green credentials.
'Our research shows that some restaurant chains are doing much more than others to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and food waste,' said Shefalee Loth, Which? Nutritionist.

In the study, Which? set out to understand the most and least sustainable restaurant chains in Britain.
Researchers asked the restaurants a series of questions about key sustainability issues, including resources and emissions, sourcing policies, waste and plastics, transparently and customer choice as well as targets.
An analysis of their answers revealed that Mexican chain, Wahaca, came top, with an overall score of 84 per cent.
In particular, the chain scored highly for its customer choices, with six in 10 of the dishes on its menu being vegetarian.
This was followed by Nando's (81 per cent), Frankie and Benny's (75 per cent), Young & Co's pubs (74 per cent), Pret A Manger (73 per cent), and Wagamama (72 per cent).
At the other end of the scale were KFC and Greggs, which both only scored 38 per cent in Which?'s analysis.
