After Vancouver said Wal-Mart's stores was environmentally insensitive, the retail giant hired an architect to create a new eco-friendly design.
"The retail discount chain Wal-Mart, already a Goliath across North America, is fighting for a piece of turf in one of Canada's largest cities...In order to satisfy city hall, Wal-Mart hired architect Peter Busby to come up with a new plan. Busby's architecture firm is a leader on the world stage in sustainable development...His "green" design will allow the Wal-Mart store to use one-third of the energy it takes to run a regular store. Windmills generate power and underground wells will heat and cool the building. Skylights will replace lamps in the store."
