  Walmart will never be eco friendly

  Wal-Mart is inherently environmentally unfriendly because of its size. by being a large store is must service many people, drawing from a larger area which means people have to drive farther. before the rise of the big box store people went to small local stores down the street, now they must drive out side of town to wal-mart.

  wal-marts size also requires large parking lots. these destroy rivers because the water can not seep into the ground. when it rains the rivers flood and when it is not raining the rivers are dry.

  Wal-Mart has been sued by the government for breaking environmental regulations so many times its not funny.

  When you look at the history of wal-mart manipulating consumers and showing a total disregard towards the environment, and take into account that all these environmental measure they are taking are a drop in the bucket compared to how much they have hurt the environment, it is clear that this is no more than a marketing ploy. While we should not discourage wal-mart from being environmentally friendly (every bit counts) they are still environmental menaces and we should spend our money elsewhere. shop local.On Wal-Mart, mining companies team up to trace path of jewelry supply chain posted 1 year, 4 months ago 3 Responses
