Trendwatching: UK supermarket Tesco plans to introduce carbon footprint labels on all 70,000 products it sells to allow shoppers to compare carbon impacts. Implementation will take a while: the company is currently investigating how to develop a “universally accepted and commonly understood” measuring system.
Last year, footwear manufacturer Timberland started placing a “nutritional label” on each shoe box, educating consumers about the product they are purchasing, including where it was manufactured, how it was produced and what effect it has on the environment. Nice touch: messaging inside the box asks customers “what kind of footprint will you leave?” and provides a call to action for them after purchase. Hey, it takes two to tango!
