That's where its customers have opted to live. No retailer can be expected to locate only in urban areas. And Wal-Mart is exploring selling ethanol for flex-fuel cars, in part to promote greener cars.

A well balanced and fair employee benefit plan ensures the 'well-being' of the employees and hence very crucial for corporations trying to promote themselves as "green" businesses.

I would really appreciate an explanation of that, there must be some issue of thermodynamics that I don't grasp.
