Every Little Helps!

Members of Sustainable Three Rivers persuaded Tesco to power their van refrigeration with electricity. Previously, the diesel engines were running while stationary, contributing to harmful air pollution.

Russell Ball and Rosi Jordon, with support from Green Party Councillor Chris Mitchell, managed to get Tesco to bring forward their plans and install electric charging points at the Rickmansworth site. It shows what local people can do to encourage companies to act more sustainably.
