Wal-Mart

"Currently in the US there are 26 699 678 square feet of empty walmarts. Enough room to build 29 666 classrooms and educate 593 326 kids."
WalMart - The High Cost of Low Prices.

i personally boycott this company because i do not agree with its operation standards. Using sweatshops and exploiting workers is only the tip of the iceberg.

This empty walmart is in my city. it is vacant because a walmart supercentre was built 2 driving minutes away from this site. the supercentre opened November 7th 2007. Wikipedia claims that this building is now a T&T supermarket. obviously it isnt as i took these photos on September 21st 2008.

For fellow Canadians i saw another documentary in store called "Wal-Town" I'm assuming its the same type of thing that "High Cost of Low Prices" talks about but in Canada instead of America. For those who have not seen this film, i recommend it. It's on the internet, google it, watch it and think about it.
