Flag As Inappropriatebatfink batfink about 1 year ago about Tesco

BBC reports:

Supermarket giant Tesco has unveiled wide ranging plans to cut carbon emissions and encourage its customers to buy green. Tesco said it aimed to develop a carbon footprint labelling measure for all products sold in store, and cut the cost of many energy-efficient goods. The new “green” labels would allow customers to compare and shop for items which required less energy to produce.
