Tesco, Britain’s biggest supermarket, said it would challenge carbon neutral by 2035. It set the plan for how to cut carbon emissions from all key emission sources such as agriculture. It promised to do the annual update on progress as well. It requests suppliers to work together with Tesco to achieve this target. Tesco responded to growing consumer demands for less waste, less plastic and more action for the environment. Due to this, their products have become expensive and many customers are unhappy about it. The company sells unwashed potatoes as they can stay longer on shelves.
