Another thing I've heard Wal-Mart looking into is digital receipts, as opposed to the paper ones we all get. Maybe its because every month they print enough receipts to be wrapped around the circumference of the globe, TWICE! Think about it: every week over 179,000,000 shop in Wal-Mart (Environmental Defense), and needless to say, every single person gets a paper receipt. If Wal-Mart began offerring digital receipts to their customers, they could start saving 13,500 tree EVERY SINGLE MONTH! And I haven't even mentioned all the other resources that are having a damaging effect on our environment because of paper production.

Stuff like this just makes sense for everyone. The environment will be used better. The suppliers will save money, wal-mart will save money, we'll save money. Very cool!
