Next month, two new branches of high street chain Marks & Spencer are due to open.
The plan is that these new shops will be pretty green. They will incorporate a rainwater collection system to be used to flush toilets. Efficient lighting and ventilation will reduce heating and energy losses.
The shops will be in Glasgow and Galashiels, in the Borders. They will be powered by a wind turbine located in Aberdeenshire.
Of course, it won’t be just any turbine. Cue the laid-back jazzy music of the retailers’ current TV ads. This is an M&S turbine, no doubt drenched in the finest olive oil with a twist of lime.
