<p><a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/multimedia/slideshows/content/walmart-goes-green.html?page=2"></a></p>
<p>In October 2005, Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott started talking about sustainable development. In September 2006, he agreed with Al Gore and stated that a conflict between the environment and the economy is unnecessary. Now, he's even hired green activist Adam Werbach to shepherd the plan. But there are still plenty of skeptics. Is Scott merely greenwashing -- using sustainability to promote his company's interests -- or has Wal-Mart really become a force for environmental good?</p>

<p>Who would have ever thought that Greenpeace and McDonald's would be collaborating to protect the Amazon rain forest? Or influential environmental groups would be partnering with private equity firms to prevent new coal-fired power plants from coming online in Texas? Or that investors and activists would be sitting across the table from Citi and other leading banks telling them how to tighten their lending criteria for high carbon-emitting projects?</p>
