Walmart's not Green

Per Wal-Mart's CEO, "“We are not green.”"

Translation - Wal-Mart is doing the efforts they are doing to improve efficiency and increase their profits. An example of an effort is reducing packaging (lowers cost since more items take up less space and less cost of materials used for packaging). This also has an environmental benefit. The same thing by increasing the energy efficiency of their stores, this reduces cost. The celling of CFL's is a business opportunity that also helps the environment overall (mercury is an issue).
