Take Wal-Mart, the most famously offensive, town-destroying, junk-purveying, labor-abusing, sweatshop-supporting, American-job-killing, soul-numbing, hope-curdling retailer in the known universe, moving upward of $300 billion in cheap mass-produced slurm every year via more than 5,000 landscape-mauling eyesore stores stretching all the way from Texas to China and Argentina and South Korea and Mexico and your backyard.

Eloquently said... slurm indeed.
wow.
I couldn't have said it better!!
An excellent piece well worth reading. Is Wal-Mart really concerned about the environment? Hardly. They just want to reduce their expenses such as fuel and heating costs for their stores. Bottom line is expenses cut into profits. And less profits mean unhappy stockholders. Is Wal-Mart really concerned about the environment? No. This is just another one of their smoke screens.
