Wal-Mart has launched a campaign to "go green". They are trying to cut 20 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions by 2015, equal to the amount of 3.8 million cars on the road. Wal-Mart encourages its suppliers to think about how they source, manufacture, package and transport carbon-dioxide heavy goods, such as bread and meat. The plan is still in its early stages, but Wal-Mart is optimistic for its environmentally-friendly future.
