Danny Seo, host of the satellite-radio show Simply Green with Danny Seo is quoted as saying, “Beauty has tipped. Cars have tipped. Food has tipped. Fashion is one of the last categories to tip”

Wal Mart and organic??? Doesn't make sense!
wal-mart will do anything to make money, but it's great to see even the worst of the worst seeing the error of their ways, even though it is only for monetary purposes.
using leather makes no sense! who wants to carry slaughtered animals on their shoulders or wear them on their feet
leather is not necessary and all who portray it as some sort of glamourous thing that one just has to have should be whipped preferrably with a non leather whip!
I welcome the "green" move by Wal-mart, no matter that it's only done to get more customers.
We're on the road 24/7 and it's close to impossible to locate green stores in each different town we go through, so I always end up at Wal-mart, plus circus salaries don't exactly make you rich. This will be a way for us to finally go back to more environmentally friendly shopping, something I've been looking forward to for quite some time.
