corporate social responsibility

I won't go to Wal-Mart because it is a sad place.

The workers are underpaid.

The fluorescent lighting is taxing.

New term I learned: Social Darwinism

A normative principle (how the world SHOULD work), that we shouldn't waste our resources on the "losers" -- those that are less profitable in the industry.

I like supporting companies that are "green" or "do good". I found a WSJ article that says being "green" or philanthropic is profitable! The profit margins for products perceived as green are way better and greater in magnitude than the losses manufacturers suffer on products perceived as "not green".
