Tesco has boarded the environmental bandwagon with a £500 million “green revolution”.
Britain’s biggest retailer plans to install wind turbines on store rooftops, shift to petrol derived from plants, and sell energy efficient kettles and cheaper long-life lightbulbs.
It aims to move away from flying in fresh food from around the globe and inform shoppers how much energy was used in the production of items on the shelves.

The plague of rats gripping towns and cities has been worsened by the greed of local councils, pest control firms said yesterday.
As revealed in the Mail yesterday, rat infestations have shot up by nearly 40 per cent in six years. Last night it emerged that the plague has coincided with town halls charging to send out ratcatchers.
Six out of ten of councils have stopped deploying pest control teams free of charge, said the National Pest Technicians Association.
