| Capitalism is based on having a free market and allowing individuals and corporations to innovate. This system will improve quality of life, however, the government, corporations and consumers are provided many choices to make based on their knowledge and experiences. Choices made will directly impact the system and ultimately decisions should be based on possible outcomes through valid facts and a fair and ethical mindset. By doing so a stage can be set for an efficient and sustainable economic system. |

| Where are all the certifyiong bodies to incorporate checks and balances in the world of green/sustainability. Yes, there are a lot of 'so-called' third-party agencies out there, such as LEED, but really - when is LEED going to raise the bar. I work with one of the leading green certifiers and she thinks LEED is a complete joke. YEs, we needed a starting point. Yes, LEED was an industry-first and has created a paradigm shify - somewhat - but, LEED should be challenging themselves and listening to the true leaders in energy and green building. |

| Arer we really talking about Wal-Mart ina favorable light now? Really? They were practically FORCED by several n ations to change their habits. This was no voluntary effort because they decided they cared. This was clever marketing. They make me sick and so do you! |

Wow Re-Action....guess that is a suitable user name for you. Walmart will forever be a thorn in my side, and I will never shop there. I think it is totally ridiculous when companies market themselves as if they give a care.....all they care about is the bottom line- not about the people who work for them, and certainly not about the planet. Walmart will never go away, so any change they do make will make a huge impact.
I read this article this morning about Proctor and Gamble getting a sustainability award......uh, they sell toxic products.....how is that sustainable? |
