If you were the CEO of Wal-mart, what would you do?

Posted on Mar 31st, 2007 by Gaia Team : Gaia Team Gaia Team

Seriously! Big business gets blamed for many of the problems in the world. There's a tendency to point fingers at box stores and corporate behemoths, and a cry for these giants of industry to "change their ways."

At Zaadz, we're all about being the change. And so imagine, for a moment, that you were the CEO of one of the companies you'd like to see acting differently. Pretend you have a few million employees depending on you for a paycheck, and many millions more depending on your products or services in their daily lives. What steps would you take? How would you change the world?
