You know i understand what your saying but still, im really kinda old school myself. I got angry at my board of directors recently who hired a college grad who had no experience over a guy who was doing the same job for many years as a volunteer in our organization and was doing a great job but didn't have a college education or degree. But what can i expect from a board of directors who are mostly college educated and from professional and upperclass backgrounds? Had things handed to them because of there degrees etc. Thats privilege for you.
For every environmental story about a big company doing something wrong, there are a thousand stories of small companies who did and are doing, similar. Doesn't make it right. But they do it just the same. It is a lot easier to go after the big pocketbook than it is to go after the small business owner especially if you are the employee at the EPA trying to make a name for yourself and get a promotion. It is what I would do - and I bet you would too?
Hmm interesting, so its about privilege and education? Not performance or productivity?
Further as i said before. Its not about being rich or making profit that is bad or wrong. Its about how you treat others and the communities and how you make your billions. I hope Walmart is going the other direction and changing. You can't expect people to change there opinions overnight especially with recent environmental violations.
Thats just recently only and not a one time event.
A company-wide "no-return" policy for pesticides and other hazardous materials is not a "one-time event." And, based on the links that you provided earlier, Wal-Mart's Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) violations only extend to early 2008 (i.e. over six years ago).
I thought so too and fully answered the OP's question in post #2.
Yes, you did.
