British Supermarket Tesco Trials Carbon Labels. BBC, April 29, 2008. "Supermarket chain Tesco has announced that a range of its own brand products will carry labels showing the size of the goods' carbon footprints. Tesco said it would label 20 items, including light bulbs and potatoes, during a two-year trial of the scheme, which is operated by the Carbon Trust. Shoppers will be able to see how much carbon is emitted over the life of a product -- from manufacture to disposal. The store said it was introducing the labels in response to consumer demand... In order for products to carry the carbon reduction label, companies have to undertake a comprehensive carbon audit of the supply chains, and commit to further CO2 reductions over a two-year period."
