Walmart is one of the most important supermarket chains across the United States and, by far, the most popular due to its incredible promovation techniques, good marketing and the “Our clients, our masters” politic. And while it has been selling for ages countless products at retail and extremely low prices, it also offers a good quality and has a great impact upon the whole American society. In fact, Walmart is far more than just a store, it has become a way of living, a trust-worthy place and the place where clients are always right and the personnel treats you with total respect, always, no matter what.

And with such an influence on the market, it comes as no surprise that the Walmart store chain has become a part of the eco trend which is developing for around a decade now across the country. Walmart has become an important pawn in the eco friendly industry and it attracts millions of customers daily who are willing to pay a little more, but for organic and natural products, either it is we talk about fruits and vegetables, daily products or electronic ones.

Walmart also supports the eco actions each of us has to take for a greener and less polluted environment and it encourages people to do small gestures which, by summing up, will create a huge positive impact upon the entire eco system and the nature. This is why, they encourage people to wash their laundry by using cold cyles, shop with reusable or plastic bags, or to eat more organic and local products to help sustain the local farmers and economy.

In addition, they use the power of the personal example, bragging about their personal eco actions: they use the sun and wind to help power their stores, the drivers’ routes are shorter so that they consume less diesel fuel and greenhouse gases. On the way they put it, it really seems that by taking these personal actions, they not only become earth and eco-friendly, but wallet friendly also, as they are in deed reducing their costs.

In addition, you can find a full range of earth-friendly products, from earth-friendly TVs, furniture or daily basis products such as fruits, vegetables, cosmetics or house care natural products. Also, during the Earth Month in April 2009, the Walmart group featured 10 products that cost less than $10, were 100% biodegradable, organic or recycled. The featured products include : Earth tees made out of 100% organic cotton, suitable for all family which cost between $4-$6 each.

The green colored hydration water bottles were made with BPA-free materials and cost around $4 each (for 32 oz. bottles). Another hit product was the Walmart Reusable Bag; it was made out of 85% recycled content and it held more than twice the amount of an average plastic bag, not to mention about the attractive price of $1 each.

The sustainable Picture Frames available exclusively at Walmart were made from recycled material, costed $3 each and it were an ideal gift to make to the beloved ones, so that they can hold tight to picture-perfect memories wherever they are.
