'Retail is one of the biggest non-industrial sources of carbon emissions. It's time shopkeepers closed the gap'

The campaign is delighted as the word needs to get out to customers as well as retailers. With all good retailers ' the customer is never wrong' and a closed door in winter will quickly become common practice if customers close the door as they go - where possible, have a polite word with staff and insist the door is closed before they pay. First of all we need to get the issue out to everyone. Great thanks to Lucy Siegle, and also to Hannah Cooper for her part.
