Care2 abrogated its mission by selling ads to Walmart

The mission of this petition is simple - to eliminate Wal-Mart advertising here at Care2.  With the advent of Wal-Mart advertising on this, the greenest of the green Internet communities, we believe Care2 corporate management has abrogated its mission - and in so do has tainted our online community and damaged its credibility.  The mere inclusion of Wal-Mart advertising hints that there may be a willingness on the part of Care2 to compromise its core values.  For myself, as author of this petition, that is not acceptable.  Wal-Mart does not even remotely espouse green values.  Rather it epitomizes the very worst in corporate greed and human rights and environmental abuses.  Wal-Mart is not only a poor neighbor in all communities where it has established is monolithic presence, it flaunts laws, practices appalling workplace and manufacturing facility abuses here and abroad and shows no genuine concern for workers, the environment, or the lives and communities it devastates.  It couldn't be more obvious  that Wal-Mart is attempting to polish it's appalling corporate image by involving the greenest of the green in a new marketing strategy.  Front page advertising on Care2.  Whatever they paid - it's not worth the already devastating damage done to the Care2 image.  By placing Wal-Mart ads on our Internet home we believe Care2 has abrogated the core mission of this community - an unwavering commitment to human rights, the environment and the world.  Wal-Mart has no place here.  Express yourself - speak out against Wal-Mart ads on Care2!
