Wal-Mart ain’t so environmentally friendly after all!
It has been touting itself as an environmental leader – not polluter. But today, Willy-Mart was fined a whack of cash for illegal dumping of hazardous wastes in California.
The settlement ends a five-year investigation involving more than 20 prosecutors and 32 environmental agencies that found violations at 236 of Wal-Mart’s stores and distribution centers across California, including Sam’s Club warehouse stores, said San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis.
Wal-Mart was accused of improperly disposing of pesticide, fertilizer, paint, aerosols and other chemicals. In one case, Ms. Dumanis said a boy was found playing in a mound of fertilizer outside a Wal-Mart garden section. The fertilizer had chemicals harmful to people’s respiratory systems.
Man, I just LOVE it when big corps get their wrists slapped!
