Recent news: So much for weirdmart's green promises....
''With the amount of area that one Wal-
Mart Supercenter takes up, combined
with the sheer number of stores that
dot the American landscape, it is hard to
imagine a retailer with a larger impact
on our environment than Wal-Mart. The
company recently announced its goal
to cut over two million metric tons of
CO2 emissions within six years, yet if Wal-
Mart continues to add stores at its current
growth rate, its new stores alone will
use significantly more energy than any
of its energy saving measures will save.''
