A 'Green' Peace deal

Global businesses have called for a legally binding and comprehensive international deal on climate change.

A binding agreement on emissions reductions would encourage business to invest in low-carbon technologies, a statement from 150 businesses said.

The statement - backed by Prince Charles - will be sent to environment ministers and heads of state ahead of talks in Bali on climate change.

Nokia, Tesco, Lloyds TSB and Nike are among the 150 firms that made the call.
The signatories represent companies from Europe, the US, China and Australia.

Story from BBC- good to see big companies show some interest in climate change. Dont really know how Tescos can do this when they thrive off everybody driving to there mega supermarkets burning off who knows how much fuel in the process. Also taking smalls shops out of business when they are monopolising the supermarket 'market'.
