BUSINESS LEADING THE WAY TO GREEN FUTURE – HUHNE
Commenting on Marks and Spencer’s plan to become carbon neutral in five years, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, Chris Huhne MP said:
“Marks & Spencer has always been a bellwether for British retailing, and its decision to go green tells us how a savvy operator like Stuart Rose sees the future of the high street.
“Business is responding to customers, and once again it looks as if ministers and Whitehall are lagging behind. If we are to create a low carbon economy, the Government must use green taxes to encourage business and consumers to change their behaviour.
“Gordon Brown should stop bottling out, and start greening up.”
