Just read some promising news in the New York Times! Wall Mart is making steps to support local, small farms! While I would like to see them abolish, if not limit, the use of genetically modified seeds and produce as well as raise their quality standard by including more organic foods... this is a promising, if not long overdue, step in the right direction. They are raising the requirements for farms producing their meat, not allowing for more rainforest depletion.
They have shown their power to change systems- with the success of their packaging design "eco-ver" (eco friendly make over). Whether this is consumer motivated, publicity driven or economically inspired, I am thrilled to see change in such a large corporation.
Better late then never, so big cheers for Wall Mart- but you're not perfect yet so, keep going!
