What are the effects of our shopping? That big box chain may seem convenient, but is it? How much is all our shopping costing us — and the planet? This great new film by Amy Wolf, a film fellow for the Movement Vision Lab, gives us the chance to step back and re-think how we buy what we buy and why!

Big News:
Going Big Box vs. Going Local is a winner at the EarthVision International Environmental Film Festival

  • I work for Wal-mart. If you are smart.  Don' t shop at Walmart! Trust me!

  • @randy95023 Sam Walton's dream has died like 30 years ago when it became a major Corporation taking in crap from china with the people who are payed low cheap labor and expect to save money when the products break? Compare that to local stores that have there stuff made here.

  • What the fuck is so great about small businesses? Honestly? Why should i support people who get to do what they wanted in life at a higher cost? I work at a target, and the amount of shit we do EVERY SINGLE NIGHT to keep the store running is amazing to me, and there is absolutely no fucking way that a mom and pop store could keep up. Its just too much work for 2, 10, even 20 people.

    Whats wrong with a company that uses teamwork, technology and logistics to work more efficiently?

  • Fuck the Jobs at Wal-Mart, Fuck the low Pay, Fuck the Crappy products... I'm going to tell you the real reason Wal-Mart is Bad... People get SS (Social Security) take their money and go spend it at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart sells All Asian Products or at least 80% Asian Products. So everyone is spending their money on Asian products and giving the money to Asia... Ban Wal-mart Buy American ! Save your Country !! This is more important than the Jobs and the Cheap goods !! Your Country is at risk!!

  • @mtoasty its one of the reasons why our economy is so bad.

  • If you don't like Walmart, then don't shop there.  Very simple! I'm not crazy about shopping there but why would I pay 20% more for the exact same product at Albertsons than I could at Walmart? If makes no sense for my family.

  • Follow Dukes V Walmart and Rhoem V Walmart.  Costco filed a friend of the court to support Walmart in the US Supreme Court oral hearing to prevent Betty Dukes and others from getting their lawsuit not certified for a civil court trial.

  • Read the book "Made in America", get a job with them. Observe discretely what they say and do for you to get first hand facts.

  • It is not Walmarts fault for Hana's debt, that the video tries to imply, it is Hana's fault for choosing to buy more useless shit.
