After Being Exposed Nationally, WalMart Slashes NJ Greenwash Funding

Did The “Eco-Goats” Break the Camel’s Back?

We are pleased to report that WalMart – one of the world’s most environmentally unsustainable corporations that is hostile to labor and local merchants – has dramatically slashed funding for NJ based greenscam promotions.

PEER criticized WalMart funding in this national report last year:

GREEN-WASHING NEW JERSEY STYLE – Wal-Mart Funds Christie-Touted “Sustainability” Plan as Green Programs Gutted

Here at Wolfenotes, we blasted WalMart and Sustainable NJ in multiple posts, and called on NJ’s environmental leaders to repudiate those tactics and refuse WalMart funding:

• WalMart Gives Over $1 Million To Christie Administration’s “Sustainability” Initiative
• Walmart CEO Forced Out – Does Sustainable NJ Have At Least The Ethical Standards of the WalMart Board?
• NJ Spotlight Cheerleads For Sustainable NJ – Ignores Walmart and South Jersey Gas Scandals
• Doubling Down on WalMart – Ethical Free Falling

Our source tells us that Walmart refused to fund the Sustainable NJ Small Grants Program this year and dramatically reduced other funding to Sustainable NJ by 66%, slashing a $450,000 contribution to just $150,000.

We are pleased to take some credit for this.

We repeat our challenge to SNJ and NJ environmental leaders to repudiate WalMart funding and greenscam tactics.

Let’s hope that next year that that funding goes to zero.
