Force of nature [electronic resource] : the unlikely story of Wal-Mart's green revolution / Edward Humes.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Humes (Eco Barons) offers a stirring story of how ecologically responsible practices are increasingly benefiting the bottom line, and how as Wal-Mart goes global (and tries to lure back the more green-conscious consumer decamping for Target), the biggest retailer in the world is, slowly but surely, encouraging a change for the better.
