After all, they are responsible, are they not?
@Liar Liar- actually, no, I don't shop at Wal*Mart. I did once, but I returned the item. Wal*Mart and Old Sam started the practice of going to China for their cheap plastic products. Do they not have a moral responsibility to clean up the mess that they made? After all, they ARE the world's biggest retailer. Nail that through your own head, Liar Boy.

Mack pretty much nailed it except they import much of their raw materials.
They estimate 70% of China's pollution is the result of manufacturing for the US. To their credit, they're using Walmart money to clean things up. They're new coal plants are as clean as our new ones.
The US is building 4 new nuclear plants, China had 32 in the works but canceled contracts for 8 US GE reactors after Fukushima. They're going with safer designs built by Canada, France and Russia with only two still being built by Westinghouse.
Even China recognizes cheap US goods......

China is only a small portion of there product line; Plus they are going back to offering American made product, Which is what they did to create the empire they have.If you pay attention They have items made in India, Korea.Japan.indonesia.In your wisdom of idiocy , Its normal to see your mistake.I shop at Walmart Buy 80% of my food from there. Its the same product all the other stores offer, At almost half of the other chains.For me its about value, Plus i have family who works for them. And at the local store, All thsi crap i hear about Wal mart seems stupid My son works there full Time make 14.00 bucks an hour, IKnow few who make less than 12.Unless you are part time Which is 50% of the work force there.My son says the part timers old folks on SSI,or House wives looking for extra income.If you want full time they will find a position for you. But most hire on part time NOT looking for full time employment.

Not bloody likely. The corporate "person" known as Wal-Mart is a psychopath that couldn't care less about what happens to the birds, trees, fish, or any other living thing. Wally, in partnership with the Chinese Communist Party, are willing to ruin the land, and create complete misery for the people that have to live in that sewer. All in the relentless pursuit of profit.

Wal-Marx is a retailer not a manufacturer.
Manufacturing causes the pollution not the buying and selling of a product. The American public wanting cheaper products forced manufacturing to go to cheap labor and less restrictive environmental laws to reduce costs.
It is the American public's fault.

Cleaning up the pollution in China is not on Walmart's agenda.
Hey, you can thank most Americans for the pollution in China for it was the pressure from the public and EPA to shutdown facilities in the USA for polling causing companies to go to China for raw material and finished goods. China is reaping some benefits from our decisions.
