As you know, I'm required by law to point out each and every story on the greening of Wal-Mart, if for no other reason than to find a way to plug my own op-ed on the subject. So with that in mind, don't miss USA Today's longish piece on every green's favorite source of cognitive dissonance.
Oops, almost missed one

Vote with your dollars. Greenwashing or not, if WalMart dicovers that every step towards being green brings more customers and higher sales, they will do more. And other companies will copy cat.

I've urged our readers, including nonprofit leaders from non-enviro causes, to follow the dialogue Grist is hosting on Wal-Mart's conversion. What Wal-Mart is doing, and what is being argued about here, has huge ramifications ... reaching beyond the immediate environmental impacts.
Could it be that corporate behavior will inexorably change for the better with respect to the environment? I'm an avowed optimist on the matter.
