Burgerville, a small chain of about 40 restaurants headquartered in  
Vancouver, WA

- buys wind power
- buys non-battery chickens and eggs from a portland farm
- offers sweet potato fries seasonally
- buys fresh local produce for smoothies, etc
- does better by their employees than other fast food places
- composts and recycles
- partners with local biodiesel producers

etc.

If you *have* to eat fast food along I-5 in the Portland/ Vancouver  
area, this is the chain to look for.

Also, many offer free wifi.

I'm not a burger eater, but those smoothies and shakes are pretty darn  
good.

On your scale, I would put them at about a two, which would beat their  
competition by miles.
