At Wal-Mart, Talk Is Cheap...Always

So Wal-Mart has invited Al Gore to speak about global warming:

"The conference is an outgrowth of Wal-Mart’s mission, outlined by Chief Executive Lee Scott last November, to minimize its negative impact on the environment."

I'll concede that talking with the right folks (including Amory Lovins and the Rocky Mountain Institute) is a great PR and symbolic move, but I'll say it again: For Wal-Mart to Wal(k) the talk, it's going to have to change the way it does business, not just the way it thinks. And that's a lot harder than sitting down for a slide show from a former vice president. Good luck, Wally!
