“The more we learn here, the more there’s a real business and consumer opportunity, in that there’s a lot of unharvested efficiencies yet…When you look back at the supply chain and factories and warehouses, and you start thinking about their basic energy needs, there’s a huge opportunity to do some relatively simple things to save energy …” -Jim Stanway, Head of Wal-Mart’s Greenhouse Gas Strategy, Financial Times, 24 September 2007.
