HUGE news from Walmart regarding environmental labeling for products

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

This morning Walmart announced that it will be implementing an environmental labeling system for all of the products sold in its stores. Their overarching goal is to create a single set of measurements for the entire retailing industry. Walmart is serious about this stuff - and is powerful enough to make it happen. It will be interesting to see how this progresses -and whether and how governments get involved now that Walmart has gotten the ball rolling. This is big, exciting stuff.
