Walmart Embraces 'Green' Politics; Loses Sales | National Legal and Policy Center
And you could just picture Humes wagging his finger as he wrote:
Today's Wal-Mart shoppers are not particularly motivated to buy green. But their kids are, and Wal-Mart is listening. Wal-Mart is betting that the most planet-friendly retailer will win the future. So if you don't want to spend your senior years trying to explain to your grandkids why you didn't do more to save the planet, it's time to get busy.
As NLPC reported recently, with seven consecutive quarters (now eight) of same-store sales declines, Wal-Mart appears to be losing its “bet.” But when you’ve got a whitewater rafting naturalist, a former Al Gore aide (Leslie Dach), and a Paul Ehrlich population-bomb alarmist (Kistler) as three of your sustainability gurus, and a scolding book writer lecturing the public, why listen to your (former) customers?
