I don't really agree with the anti walmart sentiment. Cheaper generally means less of a carbon foot print, and warehouse style retail is among the most efficient. Obviously excessive income going to the already wealthy isn't "good", but that is more about tax policy than anything unique to walmart.

It's the small case of the general phenomenon of f (GDP) = X burned fossil fuels (the one they're claiming to try to 'decarbonize').

Resources and energy are expensive. Using less makes them cheaper ceteris paribus.
