Walmart really isn't green.


Wake-Up Wal-Mart Blog: Wal-Mart's demand for cheap goods strikes again!

Walmart says they are at the front of the green wave, starting to provide eco-friendly products. I personally havn't seen any there, but who knows. Anyway, this article originally in the Huffington Post reports how Walmart has gone back on its 'green statement' and is making suppliers use un-sustainable wood products just to keep prices down. Another shot against walmart. Maybe once the world starts dying people will realize that bigbox stores aren't a good thing.

IXI: The Recyclable Bike

Heres something for next year's Christmas list: the totally recyclable bike! The iXi bike is made from aluminum, which means its recyclable. Most bikes either end up at the dump or as a piece of art when its at the end of its road, but the iXi allows you to send it on its way to become something else.



The bike comes with the normal specs of a regular bike, plus some bonus stuff:

  • Design-driven bike that makes riding a bike more desirable
  • Made out of aluminum so the entire bike is recyclable
  • Rides like a full-size bike
  • Has a greaseless chain so pants won’t get dirty
  • Handlebars and pedals fold flat, so it can be stored out of the way
  • Has a repair kit inside the frame and poncho
