Hyper Stores Increase Carbon Footprint
Last month when me and wife were walking to a nearby Sainsbury store, on the way we saw some posters saying no more big stores, no more Sainsbury or Tesco. Within no time we were deep into the discussion whether we should have hyper stores and superstores or not. Well, I was for these hyper stores and she was against it. She told me how these big stores bargain the price with the farmers and buy the product from them for a very low price, giving them very little profit, not even good enough to run their houses. I know she has a very good point and that it’s truly valid. But if I look at my work schedule and the hours I put in my work, I am left with very little time for shopping. So I rather go into a hyper store to get all that I need, than hopping into those smaller stores to search for what I need and in most cases paying a bit extra.
We ended the conversation at a note that says ‘we don’t agree with each other and so we talk something else’. But that was not the case really, I kept thinking about this for long, as I had to convince myself with a satisfactory reason.
I have been very enthusiastic about saving the planet and reducing my carbon foot print for which I even bought a solar panel from pv panels kent. Amidst all these thoughts I realised that the food that is served at these hyper stores are most likely not from the local farmers. They come from various different places, meaning there is a lot of energy used to keep them fresh, plus a lot of fuel burnt to transport them to different stores. In that case if I have to further reduce my carbon footprint I should rather buy as much as possible from local farmers, rather than these hyper stores. I know it might be some extra work but it’s truly beneficial for the planet. Well, after all my wife right anyways.
