Help Walmart Be a GREEN Leader!

First, we the undersigned want to thank you for your obvious effort to make sustainability and ecological responsibility two of your top goals in your new found position at Wal-mart, as President and CEO. We are sure you are aware of the tremendous opportunity you have to make drastic changes in Wal-mart's operations that can have a lasting positive effect on your consumers and the world at large. We want to back you 100% in your efforts to ensure these changes happen. There are alot of expectations today for "green energy", and the small changes we are seeing in your stores are encouraging. However, we want you to know that we want more of these changes, and in a timely fashion. We'd like to see a broader range of eco-friendly products available, including but not limited to: bio-degradable non-plastic trash bags, cloth diapers and diaper covers, non-abrasive detergents for cleaning, clothing made from renewable natural resources like hemp, the inclusion of more toys made from wood instead of plastic, and how about phasing out the use of plastic bags at the check out's all together? How about carrying home-use compost containers in the Lawn and Garden center? Ultimately we would like to see the new products phase out the old. We would also be encouraged to see new Wal-mart building sites using workable forms of renewable energy, like wind and solar power. We would like to see a reduction in filler in the stores too, and by filler we mean items not really intended for anything other than to look shiny and be bought, only to get taken home and break. We know change is coming, we feel it and are seeing it every where in our society today. We feel that together we can make a lasting impact toward the greater good with a renewed dedication to our consumer-supplier relationship, and that relationships ability to change with the times. In other words, if you put the right things in your stores, we will continue to buy them from you. We hope you will continue to encourage your employees to promote the changes you have proposed on a personal basis in each and every store. We also hope you will seek out the guidance of wonderful minds that are out there to give you the instruction needed on how to bring these changes to fruition in a safe, productive, and timely fashion. Thank you for listening to us, we appreciate it, and we are looking forward to a new Wal-mart in 2009 and the years to come.
