The fabric dismissal is just one of the numerous reasons that I walked out of Was-Mart for the very last time last fall.
I was fed up with idiots, rudeness, not stocking what I has bought the last time I was there, etc. etc. etc.
I used to shop there because they at least were non-union but I now drive 20 miles further and do not walk out of my new favorite cursing under my breath.
Downside, THEY Don’t carry fabric either.

THE Ted Kennedy (D-HELL)?

Leslie Dach used to do government relations work for Environmental Defense and served on the Audubon Society board. He was an advance man for Senator Edward Kennedy in his failed run for the nomination in 1980, and, later, as communications director for Michael Dukakis’s campaign in 1988, (according to the New Yorker, he says he was thousands of miles away during the famous tank moment), and now he is the Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Government Relations for Wal-Mart and “reports directly to CEO Lee Scott and also manages communications, government relations and the Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club Foundation for the company.”
Last week, Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott outlined an expanded sustainability leadership plan for Wal-Mart, with new goals to take action on energy efficiency, ethical sourcing and health care. These new commitments will build on the vision Lee Scott first announced in a speech in 2005 (covered in TreeHugger here ). That vision included three goals:
* To be supplied by 100 percent renewable energy
* To create zero waste
* To sell products that sustain our resources and the environment
Since then, we’ve worked to drive change by taking a holistic approach to sustainability. We’re examining our own footprint and making our stores and trucking fleet more efficient. We’re engaging our associates and helping them make sustainability part of their lives. But we’re also looking at areas outside of our own four walls where we believe we can have an impact. We have more than 61,000 suppliers around the globe—so we are working with them to encourage them to make their products and operations more sustainable. One of our greatest opportunities is with the 176 million customers who shop in our stores each week. We don’t think they should have to choose between products they can afford and products that are better for their families and the environment.
If something is promoted as “green” I make sure to avoid it.
ie. more "Green"; more globalwarming newspeak.
products they can afford and products that are better for their families and the environment.
Yes, liberals are much smarter than we are, they will choose what's better for us!
Oh, how I do hate liberals!
I'm glad Wal-Mart came to it's senses!
