與健康踏青、綠色生活相映襯，環保風在3月吹遍城市，無論是在“地球一小時”，還是全國兩會期間，加強環境保護再度成為大普遍關心和熱烈討論的話題。尤其是近來，“地球一小時”，已發展成為一項持續性的全球活動。它呼籲每個人都行動起來，節約能源，減少溫室氣體排放。在成都，各大賣場紛紛響應這一世界性的環保舉措。作為時尚與健康生活理念的傳播者，成都的百貨、超市、購物中心的“地球一小時”活動可謂各出奇招，各有精彩，為成都建設世界現代田園城市貢獻力量。記者走進幾大百貨超市和購物中心，采擷其中繽紛之“最”。
最大規模
SM全球43家Mall傾力環保
3月26日晚8點半，伴隨著全場人震耳的倒計時聲，人頭攢動、燈光璀璨的成都SM城市廣場，頓時“暗淡”下來，顯出了別樣的“氣質”與氛圍。一場為響應“地球一小時”的環保行動正在這裡傾情上演。記者在活動現場看到，在20：30-21：30間成都SM城市廣場熄滅了大部分燈光，只在商場中保留部分必要照明。而“熄燈”之前，一場“地球一小時”主題活動則吸引了許多市民的紛紛響應。沃爾瑪、來雅百貨等負責人親臨活動現場，號召大家養成低碳環保的生活習慣。歷屆SM小童星帶來勁歌熱舞和環保詩朗誦，以一系列充滿童趣的環保節目，引起了大家對低碳生活的共鳴。現場許多市民紛紛參與到“一起來低碳”主題簽名活動中留下了他們的環保宣言。廣播電台則全程直播了此次活動，不少市民通過電波和SM廣場里的人們一起分享了這不平凡的“地球一小時”。
全球43家Mall一起熄燈
作為國際知名的購物中心運營商，SM集團從2007年起便積極響應這一活動。今年，SM集團在菲律賓以及中國的廈門、泉州、成都等43家購物中心，共同加入到“地球一小時”環保行動的隊伍中。在菲律賓，已連續舉辦多年“地球一小時”活動的SM各大購物中心幾乎聚集了全國的人氣。在中國廈門，兩個由蠟燭組成的巨大的“地球一小時”標誌，分別在隔街相望的廈門SM城市廣場和SM新生活廣場點燃，熄滅了大部分燈光的商場卻因巨大的“地球一小時”標誌而顯得分外美麗……
踐行公益明年繼續
成都SM廣場的活動是SM集團中最有特點的活動之一，為市民傾情演繹了一個“低碳”之夜。成都SM城市廣場商場經理顏雁表示，“地球一小時”活動是SM切身參與環保的又一次公益行動。SM集團不僅希望借助此次活動在商場內部向租戶和員工倡導節能減排，還希望借助商場的人氣與平台，向更多的人傳播環保理念，讓更多的人加入到環保的行列中來。明年，SM集團還會繼續這項公益活動。據瞭解，SM集團一直積極踐行企業社會責任，不僅致力于為市民提供全方位Mall生活，還始終不遺餘力地推動公益事業。
最有創意
屈臣氏倡導環保袋用6次
環保袋，這一最具代表性的環保舉措似乎已經深入民心，但有沒有人想過，怎樣使用環保袋才能實現環保呢？近期，國內著名環保組織綠色出行在其網站上公佈了環保袋碳排放的報告，結論指出，生產1個環保布袋所產生的溫室氣體排放是生產1個塑料袋所產生的溫室氣體排放的5.6倍；那麼如果要使環保袋達到環保效果，則同一環保袋的使用次數必須超過6次。現
實里，很多環保袋在消費者家中束之高閣，人們不習慣攜帶環保袋的原因主要是怕麻煩、環保袋不夠漂亮、商家會提供等。環保袋的低循環使用率使得環保袋的使用不環保。記者近日瞭解到，著名的保健及美容產品零售連鎖店——屈臣氏，攜手綠色組織，將于4月舉辦一個倡導重複使用購物袋的環保公益活動，活動將在北上廣成四個城市展開。成都作為活動的重要站點，將極力倡導我們多次重複使用環保袋，讓我們的環保行為真正環保，愛護我們共同的家園。
最具互動
家樂福免費發節能燈
3月26日晚上8點半，成都家樂福將店鋪的店招及店內一半以上的燈光熄滅，並將原計劃的熄燈一小時活動，延長至關店。家樂福還舉行了多種多樣的互動活動。3月22日至25日，9家門店走進社區，由員工志願者將社區內有需要的45戶家庭中的普通燈泡更換為節能燈。3月26日當天晚上8：30至9：30，門店還免費給前360名顧客發放了5瓦節能燈泡，全成都共發放3240個節能燈。

Tesco's green supply chain initiatives
24 Mar 2011
Tesco has installed wind turbines at three distribution centres in its network, helping the retailer to become a zero-carbon business by 2050.
Jake Ronay, renewables programme manager at Tesco, commented: "The wind turbines will make a major contribution to our electricity needs at the distribution centres, in a clean and quiet manner. This is just another step in our long-term plan to seek alternative solutions to cut carbon emissions. Each year the turbines will save approximately 3,200 tonnes of CO2 being emitted into the atmosphere and help us achieve our goal of becoming a zero-carbon business by 2050."
Subscriber's Full Story
The four wind turbines have been installed at Tesco's regional distribution centre in Magor, near Newport
Each wind turbine generates enough electricity to power 500 domestic homes and effectively takes the three distribution centres off the national grid. Any surplus electricity will be exported back to the UK
The wind turbines are the latest in a number of initiatives implemented across Tesco's supply chain:
- Tesco invested £9.2m in double-deck lifts in the
UK - A purpose-built import storage facility at Teesport in
Middlesbrough was opened in 2010. Located close to major railway lines, Tesco products will be transported via rail instead of road, taking more than 12,000 lorry journeys off theUK - Working in conjunction with logistics company Eddie Stobart, Tesco transports fruit and vegetables from
Valencia ,Spain to theUK
Tesco drives sustainability in UK
Tesco has signed up to become the main sponsor of Climate Week in the UK next year. The week, which is dedicated to raising awareness of global warming, is due to take place between 21 and 27 March 2011. David North, Tesco community and government director, commented:
"Business has a critical job to do mobilising customers, suppliers and employees to cut energy use, cut carbon and ensure future growth is sustainable growth. At Tesco we've set ourselves a big target to become a zero-carbon business by 2050. We can only bring about that lasting change by working with others. We're delighted to join forces with Climate Week to inspire, to inform and to lead a revolution in green consumption".
Climate Week is a national event organised over a one week period that offers an annual review of ambitions in the fight to combat climate change in the UK. During the week, businesses, charities, schools, councils and others will run events to demonstrate successes, share ideas and encourage others to act during the rest of the year.
This year Tesco was named the top retailer in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)'s 2010 UK FTSE 350 report in October. Lucy Neville-Rolfe commented at the time: "We want to work with our suppliers to green our supply chain and help our customers to switch to low-carbon lives".
As part of Tesco's targets, the retailer is aiming to reduce emissions of the products in its supply chain by 30% by 2020. The retailer has said it will achieve this goal through 'genuine, open source collaboration' with its suppliers. Additionally, the retailer is finding ways to help its customers reduce their own carbon footprints by 50% by 2020.
