The Business Section

Recently, on November 16, Marc Gunther, Fortune Magazine Senior Writer, wrote about Wal-Mart and it's struggles to help the environment. Some of the many unknown eco-friendly facts about Wal-Mart is that they employ 15,695 American Indians, sold 100 million compact fluorescent light bulbs, and encouraged its employees to lose weight, and heard back that they lost, collectively, 184,315 pounds. That's a lot of pounds. Wal-Mart put out this information due to recent attacks on the policies they have. Such as the fact that they manufacture there products in China so they can pay the workers less there. I think that's a good thing, it just proves that American made products are worth more and should be sold for more because they are made by hard-working American citizens who just want to make a good living.
