Wal-Mart Unveils Plan to Make Supply Chain Greener

The New York Times February 25, 2010 By Stephanie Rosenbloom

The largest retailer store, Wal-Mart, has decided and announced that it would finally cut some 20 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions from its supply chain by the end of 2015, which is the equivalent of removing more than 3.8 million cars from the road for a year. By acheiving this goal, they plan to focus on popular product categories with the highest embedded carbon.
This new idea is a great way to lower the ratings of global warming and hopefully it goes well. It's pretty interesting how cutting millions of greenhouse gas emissions is the equivalent to removing 3.8 million cars from the road a year.
