The big picture: The reveal comes as Chipotle and other fast-food chains are under enormous pressure to reduce their carbon emissions.
Driving the news: Chipotle has opened two restaurants with what it's calling "responsible restaurant design" features so far: one in Gloucester, Virginia, and another in Jacksonville, Florida.
What's next: The fast-casual Mexican chain plans to install such features as it opens new restaurants over time.
The bottom line: Chipotle's goal is to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, from 2019 levels, the company says.
