Hey Phil,
With my idealist head on...
Besides co-op, which is a little different, I hate supermarkets. They are completely driven by convinience and consequently there is little ethical/environmental concern.
Realistically, they're mighty handy and I all too often find myself gracing their aisles (including earlier today).
Environmentally supermarkets are a nightmare, warming the air and leaving the door open, and cooling fridges with no doors uses a lot of energy (ie carbon). Monbiot has a nice idea about shopping. He says online shopping should rule the day and i like his idea. No supermarkets, just warehouses which do daily deliveries and corner shops and deli's.
Cloud 9 me thinks!
