And Walmart might seriously change the green game by releasing a universal green product rating system.
The system will be developed by the University of Arkansas and will require their suppliers to report on water, energy, waste and toxicity of products. I know of several such systems being developed right now (some have been 5+ years in the making) so it will be interesting to see if Walmart can really make it happen as quickly as they say.
Here's the whole Green News Report:
