Earth Month 2008
YOU x 200 million = A brighter future
April is an important month for sustainability at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club. Throughout “Earth Month” we are highlighting products that will help our customers save money and make a difference in their own lives, in the lives of their families, in their communities and for the planet. You'll also see how your choices multiplied by 200 million can equal a brighter future for us all.
At Wal-Mart, from milk to mulch, and laundry detergent to light bulbs, more than 50 products spanning various aspects of sustainability – including conservation, waste reduction, and organics – will be featured on store shelves. In addition, Walmart.com will offer more than 500 eco-friendly items, including apparel, baby products and home furnishings at unbeatable prices (www.walmart.com/earth).
Sam's Club is working to improve the quality of life now and for generations to come by operating our business in environmentally responsible ways and by offering Members sustainable products. Visit www.samsclub.com/green to learn more about preservation, energy efficiency, reducing waste and responsible farming. Throughout the Sam's Club chain, members can learn more about environmental friendly products by looking for the Sam's Club eco-symbol and verbiage "Simple Steps to Saving Green." The symbol appears on club product displays and takes into account a dozen criteria including energy savings, natural ingredients, Fair Trade Certification and others.
So take a look below and see a few examples of our many Earth Month events.
