The Walmart’s sustainability program is the one that got me hooked. Seems like that’s the first I should write and tell you about!

Interesting. I’d definitely like to know why you think they are/will be world history changing. I hope that’s a good thing.
Also, please do tell us what you found out about how they treat their employees (here in the US as well as the workers who make the products they sell) and how they go about being a sustainable and environmentally responsible company. Those are the two biggest things I hear complaints about them on.
Sweatshops and ruining the environment. Thanks!

Did you happen to see any of the Norma Kamali line? I am curious about the quality.

Congratulations on this wonderful opportunity!

I am waiting by the phone to see if Target needs some moms...

I used to have snotty ideas about WalMart until I finally walked in the store. I found tons of things that our family used and needed that didn’t break our budget. I remember whispering to my friends, “You know what? I just LOVE WalMart!” They usually had that look on their face like ((gasp!)) “Did she just say that?” But then we’d usually giggle, spilling our guts about how much we love that store!

I do have a question, however. I hear so many complain about the treatment that the employees receive. I am a personal choice proponent, so I don’t understand the argument against WM if someone chooses to work there. What was your experience regarding the company’s attitude towards their work force?

I'm so glad you joined us!!
And I'm thrilled you could make it out to Arkansas with us on such short notice.

I think this trip is going to be the thing we all look back on and say "that's when it all started changing."

We owe major kudos to John too - for being the visionary he has been about this project.
