Tesco will have a pilot scheme to have labels on their own brand products, so that we can see how much carbon is emitted over the life of a product - from manufacture to disposal.
It sounds good, but ... Tesco makes £200 million per month in profit, and it's a 2-year trial of only 20 products.
It's a baby step when we need far-reaching changes to enable consumers to make intelligence choices (carbon labelling on all products at all stores for a given chain; furniture stores and choosing sustainable wood; child toys and labels about child labour; kg of pesticides used on a shirt of non-organic cotton).
