Comments on: What Do Wal-Mart And Australia Have In Common? http://buzzdroid.com/environment/what-do-wal-mart-and-australia-have-in-common/ Strategery In Action Thu, 09 Sep 2010 23:33:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Australia Package Deals http://buzzdroid.com/environment/what-do-wal-mart-and-australia-have-in-common/#comment-8319 Australia Package Deals Thu, 22 Apr 2010 00:43:55 +0000 http://buzzdroid.com/environment/what-do-wal-mart-and-australia-have-in-common/#comment-8319 The discussion going on in the comment section seems to have gone off the rails. Let me just say I think it's a great move that any significant organisation is taking steps to reduce emissions, especially when it's such a simple move to make.

The light is horrible and the flicker drives me nuts. Long live the incandescent bulb. By the way, I am currently stockpiling incandescents in a warehouse and will sell them as antique items when they are phased out. Look for my website: www.cflssuck.com Long live Thomas Edison!

As an American myself living here in Australia I can assure you that most Americans know where Australia is and they know the difference between Austria and Australia. If you are thinking of some girl in the USA that is clueless when answering a reporters question about Australia, well most of us are not like that...the 99 percent is way way off. I have no clue where you get your numbers from...most Americans are NOT like the guests that Jerry Springer puts on his shows. Some of that may even be hogwash. Anyway we do know the difference between Australia and Austria. In the same sense, how much do you know about Hawaii where I was living?? Bryan you are so wrong!!

Sure let's replace a cheap low impact item (a incandesent bulb) with a toxic mercury item, and what is the impact in production compare (what is needed to produce each). I have to heat my home for 4 to 5 months a year, a regular bulb 10% light 90% heat so in the winter it's 100% efficent. Drop one of your new beloved bulbs and deal with the TOXIC waste. Leave your brain at home, and huge a tree. Lauren.

Your attempt at British/Australian colloquialisms in the last sentence was a bit of a fail though. Could be time for you to get some more academic quals to boost the suffixes that you're so tragically propping up your credibility with. Best wishes!

So its influence is huge, compare it to a nation of Indonesia, one that has 300million people,ie similar size to the US, and yet has only the same total income. If you took away Australia, the most polluting country per capita, you would save the environment a lot of greenhouse gas. Whilst countries like china are polluting, relative per capita, its not in the same league, not only that, most of the crap they make comes to countries like Australia, and doesn't stay in china.
