after a police operation, the link, the assets to the crypto lice, inflation has seen many your fans paying an awful lot more for that groceries then they used to, but some environmental, this would argue we're still not paying enough for the foods that we eat. now. one gem and supermarket chain has temporarily increased its pricing to reflect the true cost of each product sold out. and that's despite a 60 percent price rise. the organic yogurt at this berlin store of supermarket penny. so a price pump as part of a weak low marketing campaign across the country is $9.00 products, including yogurt, different types of cheese sausage and beacon snipped. so a part of the so called true cost campaigns, drawing attention to the true impact of groceries on the environment. you find
6:50 pm
customer control costs include the cost stuff, environmental effects, not just the value of change, which we have for the cost of the environmental effect. consumer prices could be different from what we have now. we do that researchers have calculated how various products affect climate change during production. for instance, honeywell waste and it's impact on the climate. the amount of so degradation caused by farming. how ground water is affected by production and the health hazards such as harmful pesticides? so products need to be significantly more expensive. 400 grams of sausage cost, 88 percent more. but only 9 percent of the several thousands of products it sells. a part of the campaign at a discount or has also made other products significantly cheaper. many customers. i shocked about the high prices we had to

adjust. that means we had to look carefully to figure out what to buy the costs. we thought that would be a roast on the weekend, and that's it. to get a new roast and noise to every 2nd day and quickly, even though so produce the farm us don't get anything they need it. that's where it's justified. some of welcome to pennies effort to raise consumer awareness, but others, including the farmers association and food watch, consider it green washing. that's because the discount are, isn't ready to pay for juice's, adequate prices. what speed is on to infinity, the many farm us also see it as a bit hypocritical when a company that spends all its time trying to push the purchase of prices down and buy some beggary. cultural products at low prices and then suddenly comes up with ideas like this. you know, the ones, the campaign ends next week. the products will be returned to the cheaper prices at
6:52 pm
penny, despite how much they harm the environment as well. let's discuss this a bit further. with larry's on the phone from data we were environment good to have you on the program. so what are we looking at here? is this uh payoffs done to the greenwashing? are they actually highlighting and relevant points? i think it's a little bit of everything. there are definitely groups that are cooling the company out for green washing and accusing them of hip hop, christie too, because walters prices have gone off from those 9 products. they are still being pushed down on other products with little regard for the environmental cost of those. but they're all organizations as well, like green piece, for example, that of praise. the campaign for bringing focus to what is a big problem um for production costs is around a set of greenhouse gas emissions and also causes other wider impacts the environment. so it's good to have the attention brought to that. yeah. so what is it that people do need to know about the environment,
6:53 pm

6:54 pm
a fact of we're ready, we are paying through the profit? i mean, somebody experts would say that we definitely need to put the price off. now for your general need to help cover these costs and also begin direct impacts of the environment. a sorry of be a food production and blogs move. some organizations have advocated, for example, for taking away tax from plump based fluids, which are generally better. so the environment, i'm putting higher taxes on meat and dairy products as an example, but there are worries, but obviously this could have a negative impact on consumers with lower incomes were already struggling as a result of inflation. let's say that's so that's interesting. so we could get, you know, cheaper organic fates and more extensive update to the results on thanks so much for taking us. so last drought is taking a dramatic told one of the most important was the ways the panama canal authority
