wal mart hires people. it sells cheap stuff. if it wants to go green, i am all for the improvement. just as mcdonald's beef buying affects a lot of cattle's living conditions, wal mart can set a standard for sensible, sustainable energy use and landfill avoidance. if wal mart succeeds in that, a lot of others may follow.

another benefit could be the coming ubiquity of organic fabrics and foods, to be followed by less pesticide contamination in water supplies and animal habitat. if organic food gets all the way in, farm kids just might stand a chance to stay on the farm, as has not happened for generations. better products, less cruelty. what's not to like about that?

the older you get, hopefully the more you know. at least live your life that way.
