Wal-Mart to Host Lightbulb Recycling Day
Wal-Mart and Minnesota Waste Management will be hosting a florescent light bulb recycling day this Saturday across Minnesota in an attempt to be more green.
The press release states
Retailing giant Wal-Mart, under fire from activist groups for its labor practices and from Wall Street of late for sluggish sales growth, has been pursuing an aggressive environmental campaign. The aim is both to improve efficiency of the company’s operations as well as to boost sales in stores. “We’ve been looking for several different ways to be responsible stewards for our environment,” said Julie Idelkope, a spokeswoman.
It’s a great idea, but with businesses like IKEA having routine complimentary recycling, is a single day enough to green Wal-Mart?
