Wal-Mart’s CEO Lee Scott has a shiny new merit badge on his Boy scout uniform: Environmental Steward! Or, so he’ll have us believe: he unveiled all sorts of green-friendly goals for the brown-friendly company in late October, everything from increasing fuel efficiency for Wal-Mart’s truck fleet, one of the largest in the world, to using corn-based instead of petroleum-based plastic packaging on their brussels sprouts. He even pledged to use all-organic cotton suits to clothe Wal-Mart’s equally massive fleet of lawyers, and to carry only recyclable $100 bills in his wallet.
