Recently, large companies have been trying to gain a greener image. I’ve looked into some of these companies. And although they aren’t all completely green, they are making very important strides to sustainability.
Walmart has a program for recycling cardboard. They also have a program to provide many meals to millions of homeless people in America. Finally, they have begun a composting program for food that is still on the shelf but has expired. These are all promising, sustainable practices.
McDonald’s has also taken a role in its environmental policies. It has eliminated sourcing of beef from land that used to be Amazon rainforest. It has also set a goal to source all of its palm oil from the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil by 2015. Finally, it has changed its packaging so that it now comes from sustainable resources.
Kellogg has also begun sourcing oil from fair-trade palm oil.
Finally, there is Envirosearch.org, which will donate money to environmental programs for each search.
All of these companies are excellent plans for future sustainability. It will be exciting to see where environmental policies in companies goes next.
