This would give consumers increased opportunity to buy local, more sustainable groceries and goods than Tesco care to supply. It would also reduce the need for Tesco to waste precious energy by lighting and heating superstores; keeping excessive freezers and chiller cabinets cool; encouraging consumers to drive to out of town stores and transporting products further than is necessary or sustainably viable by air, ship and road. 'Greening up' the vast amount of Tesco's current stores would at least be more efficient than building new. But having a handful of energy efficient / sustainable stores does nothing to balance out the negative impacts of Tesco's other stores and business in general.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('4838','Racheblue'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('4838','Racheblue','The greenest act Tesco could perform would be to stop building new stores (eco or not) and reduce the amount of stores already held in the UK, thereby allowing smaller, independent stores to regain and attain their rightful place in the market. \r\n\r\nThis would give consumers increased opportunity to buy local, more sustainable groceries and goods than Tesco care to supply.

‘Greening up’ the vast amount of Tesco’s current stores would at least be more efficient than building new. But having a handful of energy efficient / sustainable stores does nothing to balance out the negative impacts of Tesco’s other stores and business in general.
