- "Greenwashing and Consumerism: Why Walmart Doesn't Care"
- Summary: Can environmentalism, cultural theory and marketing work together? Is Walmart green beyond the bills in the cash registers? Producer Isaac Woodbury High from Blunt Youth Radio in Portland, Maine looks at greenwashing, consumerism, and authenticity through a conversation with the president of a communications firm that takes sustainability seriously. Walmart might be greener than people think, but not for the sake of "being green."

Asking question to yourself is one to input in your own pieces. To me it gets you on a balanced level of who your interviewing and can see more of the pros and cons that you may be a part of. I feel alot of these big companys should convert to green products. Using products that are used from a day to day basis, all adds up. Then to have a big chain store such as Wal-Mart, I feel they need to make a change to purchasing eco friendly product, especially if a third of the population is buying their products. This little change can make a big difference. Very good work on the topic, but i feel some of the music was a bit unnecessary and maybe could have been cut down a little more. Great work.
