Tesco reduces water consumption in UK

According to The Grocer, Tesco has reduced its water consumption by 40% in 28 UK stores through the use of rainwater capturing technologies. Engineers have installed tanks costing GBP25,000 (USD45,050) underneath new stores and have retro-fitted into some existing stores. The initiative is part of Tesco’s objective to reduce water consumption across its portfolio by 20% by 2012.
