Comments:
"Everyone on the planet needs to get serious
about this topic!"
Sounds like a lot of additional work required by a
government agency to set up a rating system and then test and review thousands
and thousands of products to rate them."
"Since Wal-Mart is basically a distributor for China, how are they going to drive
this requirement?"
"The problem is convincing customers that clean/non-toxic is the way to
go, with only a slight elevation in price levels."
"If China
and other foreign suppliers of Wal-Mart comply, I am for it 100%."
"While it sounds like a good idea on paper, it will be corrupted into
something it is not supposed to be."
"Eco-ratings most assuredly are slanted toward one particular means of
production. It's a marketing gimmick designed to remove the guilt of buying
disposable, cheap stuff."
"No single company should wield that much power. We're over-mandated by
the government as it is."
