Green Conversation #7: TESCO
*waves* What's up, Titans? Let's take a look at another company making green progress...
#7: TESCO
First we counted calories, then carbs. Now it's carbon, as retailers introduce product labels that encourage customers to weigh their eco-sins. The most ambitious: British grocery giant Tesco, which has a program to label all 70,000 of its products with carbon breakdowns.
If you were like me when you first read this, you said, "Who the heck is Tesco?". Like many retailers, Tesco has a rewards card program, but in this case, Tesco awards special Clubcard points for certain Green actions like reusing shopping bags and recycling ink cartridges and cell phones. What a great way to help effect change in consumer habits...especially since Tesco seems to be the retailer-giant equivalent to Wal-Mart ! Maybe the Titan Rewards program should include something similar to this!
Interesting enough...Tesco is also owner of the new American grocers...FRESH AND EASY. Hm....very interesting.
What are your thoughts and opinions? Keep the conversation going!
