As long-time readers know, I’ve been a fan of Wal-Mart’s shift in more sustainable directions. You might imagine, though, that such admiration isn’t necessarily shared by people practicing more radically sustainable lifestyles: Annie Leonard noted in the book The Story of Stuff<\/em><\/a>, for instance, that the company’s model of selling lots of “stuff” just can’t be made sustainable.<\/p>\n No doubt there will be continued disagreement on efforts by big companies to move in greener directions. This morning, I had a brainstorm (in the shower, of course) of some even more radical steps the world’s biggest retailer might take in its efforts to green its business. (Note: I’ve done no research on feasibility here, so critique away).<\/p>\n Just thinking out loud here (it’s the blogathon way)… love to hear your responses to these brainstorms… and, of course, consider making a donation<\/a> to Dancing Rabbit while you’re responding!<\/p>\nSome (Relatively) Radical Sustainability Ideas for Wal-Mart<\/h3>\n
