Wal-Mart: Really Cool
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007I was in Wal-Mart today picking up some last minute forgotten items. I noticed that the lights in the upright freezers lighting up. I thought it was just probably those wacky florescent lights acting up.
Turns out Wal-Mart has installed motion switches on the freezer lights to turn them off when no ones around, to come on when they are and to obviously conserve energy. Great idea and good for them.
Here is a link to see more of what Wal-Mart is doing for the environment.
This is on the heels of watching the two hour report on CNBC titled Age of Wal-Mart. I thought it gave a rather balanced report on the company from both sides. Those that oppose a success of Wal-Mart (communists, socialists and unions) and the views from insiders like the CEO and others.
Here is a link on more about Wal-Mart from Wal-Mart.
