Re M&S - this bandwagonning has got so fashionable that it's going to be interesting to see what these big companies do when the eco-thing isn't trendy any more. Great to see them tripped up. It's all about profit after all.
Yes, I'd be the first to agree there is a green bandwagon gaining some considerable speed at the moment, and a lot of it is far from sincere. The M&S thing was a bit of a surprise though because they seemed to be making the most genuine effort out of all these stores. Maybe they just have the best publicity machine...

...is there an ECHO in here..?
Seriously, though, I imagine there isn't a retail boardroom in the country that doesn't have a bright young spark forever being pressed to be 'greener' than the business next door. It's like the 'organic' preoccupation at the supermarkets – how are we to know whether we're just paying through the nose for these products? Isn't there an anti-organic backlash due in hours?
