Wal-Mart Chairman: It Pays to Go Green

Helping the environment has to be good for the economy, the more we harm our environment the more longterm economic damage we must of course inflict. Long-term is the key concept here, companies have so far been able to place short-term profit goals over longer-term environmental implications, but as those implications unfold they become increasingly short-term concerns. It’s great that Walmart is taking the initiative, but ti remains a minute step in an uphill batter against the prodominating concern with corporate profits. Good news then, just need a lot more of it.

Not all companies are concentrating on going green especially after the grim economic climate

Didn’t think Wal-Mart would take so much initiative to be honest, but great to see. 🙂

I like this move by the walmart chairman. It is essentially telling other companies to be green as well. When there is a savings attached to the green initiatives, it is much more likely that companies will jump on board.

They just got hit with a 26 million dollar fine for pollution in california…. or something along those lines.
