]]> Comment on Paper, Plastic… or Canvas by stu http://www.swaplogic.com/blog/2008/07/09/paper-plastic-or-canvas/comment-page-1#comment-7 stu Fri, 24 Oct 2008 17:16:08 +0000 http://www.swaplogic.com/blog/?p=17#comment-7 "Personally, I think Walmart is the biggest contributor to overuse of plastic bags" Yeah, they're a drain on the environment in multiple arenas, and what's worse is they try to dodge the label by almost constant green washing campaigns, many of which the mainstream media picks up on. There was an article in the Financial Times today titled, “Wal-Mart’s ‘green’ plan struggles to convince everyone.” There’s certainly a good bit of skepticism from many environmental groups as to the true intentions of the retail giant, and I doubt anyone is being fooled. The problem is is that they try to shove all the blame off on the suppliers, when in reality they have the necessary muscle to force their suppliers to adopt more environmental standards. “Personally, I think Walmart is the biggest contributor to overuse of plastic bags”
