    That may be a semi-valid point...........but it's just a side-benefit. Don't be fooled into thinking Wlamart "cares" about the environment LOL If they DID........they wouldn't be doing so much business with manufacturers in h ell holes like China with ZERO environmental controls on manufacturing. If you could quantify the loss of environmental quality due to no controls on the one end...............fewer cars driving to buy the goods on this end............I'm not sure it really would work out.

    If you like Walmart, fine. Some do. But don't try to deify them as being environmentally beneficial.

    Walmart and every other retailer sells what we ask them to sell.

    If American made items that cost 50% more would sell, they would fill their shelves with high priced American made products... but they don't sell. We, through our purchases have asked for cheap, cheap, cheap - Walmart, Home Depot, and every other retailer are just selling what the American masses are asking for. Sad, but true. Not their fault, any smart businessman would do the same.

    You wanted a valid reason..... I offer one;
    I worked as a cashier for Wal-Mart back when they were accused of paying women less than men for the same job (around 2003). Their stand and their attitude was why I dislike that company tremendously!! My starting pay then was for $6.50 an hour..... a guy right out of high school, hired same day for the same job and same hours was hired for $9.00. A few years later the lawsuit was pushed and Wal-Mart agreed to "even the wages"..... I got a nice 2 dollar an hour raise, then my hours were cut in half. His on the other hand, went up and his hours increased. At the end of the day, they showed me their true colors..... and I, personally and in my mind justifiably, DISLIKE the company and it's practices. He happens to love the company and is now manager of the one down the street from my house.
