Can Wal-Mart really be blamed for its contribution to “car dependent suburban sprawl?” 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.

Being “green” is a much wider concept than just achieving energy efficiency. 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.

Although I hear a lot about it, I’ve never quite understood the science that links Wal-Mart’s employee benefit plan to a store’s energy efficiency. I would really appreciate an explanation of that, there must be some issue of thermodynamics that I don’t grasp.
