Sierra Club Statement on Wal-Mart's New Environmental Initiatives Statement of Carl Pope, Sierra Club Executive Director San Francisco, CA: "Wal-Mart's new commitments to increase efficiency and reduce pollution and waste are important first steps for a company that has such a profound impact on our environment. More companies should take these positive steps towards safer and healthier communities. While this announcement shows that Wal-Mart can be leader, it also demonstrates that they should be able to take equal steps to protect workers. Wal-Mart should also include in their plans an effort to more-responsibly site their stores, obey our nation's clean water laws, which have been violated in the past, and address community concerns at all of their locations." ### |
