Walmart.....when would it ever be sustainable

After shopping at Walmart the other day, I kept thinking how can they be sustainable. Every isle is filled with excess packaging and products that cause pollution in the making.Alaskan fisherman have been protesting because after years of saying they are sustainable, Walmart has still have not made the transformation.Corporation overfishing doesn't only hurt the fish, but the local fisher man in Alaska.Walmart has still haven't gotten to use the MSC( Marine stewardship counsel)logo on most of their fish products. Until they do we cant be sure their practices are sustainable. A large company like Walmart can make big changes in the way our planet is moving to become more sustainable.

My sad(cold) Bonsai =(

So last week when the temperature dipped below fifty degrees at night, I left my window open and the cool breeze came into my room. I didn't realize it but Mr. Bonsai(Ficus) doesn't like the cold. Within the last week his leaves started shriveling up and dropping one by one.I though I killed it but after some reading its normal for Bonsais to loose their leaves when stressed and with cold. Heres some interesting links if you want to learn more!
