It’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks, but we as a society need to start thinking in a way that considers our environment and our grandchildren. I’ve talked about CFL bulbs before and how they just made sense (so much so that even Walmart is on board).

The fact that Wal-Mart can single handedly change our energy consumption is huge and a great example for our leaders. Cutting back on things like pollution, oil consumption, and urban sprawl may seem like impossible dreams that can never be helped, but big business has a lot of power to make change in this country. Its time for the government (and its citizens) to start pushing those with the power to change to do so. What if Ford decided it wanted to single handedly change auto pollution in America putting everyone in a Hybrid in the next 10 years. There’s potential out there, we just have to act. Good article by the way. I think this is a perfect example of the power we truly do have in this country to make changes for the better, especially environmentally.

I'm glad that you are posting the good about them. I too don't shop at Walmart, but we need to acknowledge good things some bad companies are doing because the goal is not to get everyone to stop shopping at Walmart, but to get Walmart to shape up, and this is a good step. Maybe it would be good to get the bulb at Walmart, to show that you support this innitiative. PS. Check your right and your left again. -Zach Great article.

Someone sent me the link yesterday. I'm in the same boat as you, for the first time thinking maybe the Wal-Mart influence can be used for good. You don't have to but them at Wal-Mart.
