WalMart a green giant.
The laws of economics suggest that WalMart, with 5, 200 stores worldwide, influences everything including the prices of all kinds of goods.It throws its weight behind environmental responsibility, and the impact could be amazing.“One little change in product packaging could
save 1, 500 trees,” says WalMart's former CEO Lee Scott.“If everybody saves 1, 500 trees or 50 barrels of oil, at the end of the day they have made a huge difference.”
Scott wants WalMart to do its part too.He has promised to cut the existing greenhouse gas emissions(排放物) over the next few years and promised to construct new stores that are more efficient.He wants WalMart's fleet(车队) of more than 7, 000 trucks to get twice as many miles per gallon by 2015.Factories that show WalMart they're cutting air pollution will get preferential treatment in the supply chain.WalMart says it's working with consumerproduct manufacturers to
reduce their packaging and will reward them if they do so.
Some people may doubt it is a bid to attract attention from WalMart's controversial labour and
health insurance practices.But it's not just window dressing, because WalMart sees profits in going green.Scott says,“This_is_a_business_philosophy,_not_a_social_philosophy.We don't go where we don't think there's great interest in change.”
