1. In my opinion, there’s a good (though unpopular) initiative because if Tesco gives a hand on concerning people, maybe many of them would change their minds.
2. I think they all could do it, within their capability.
3. I extremely disagree, because they don’t realize what low prices and very low quality food can do in their body.
4. I think there is not a killer question. You can do it gradually, but I think it’s a good practice to become more concerned about this issue.
5. Maybe they could retire plastic bags instead of charging for them

1. I think it is a good initiative

2.currently it would be unfeasible for all supermarkets to do the same because there are not so many suppliers of green products

3.Yes, because most people do not have a large budget to be able to make the purchase and that is why they prefer to invest less money to buy green products

4. I care more about the environment, because we only have one planet and it is our responsibility to take care of it

5. Use less plastic and avoid throwing food away by selling it at a lower price
