It sounds like the Marketplace model pairs well with Seventh Generation's eco- and socially-conscious product line. Now, if Walmart would just start paying their foreign suppliers and manufacturers a decent living wage and provide safe and sanitary housing for the employees who work for the manufacturers Walmart owns, that would be a major step in the right direction. Also, it would be nice if they paid the farmers who supply their produce fair prices and sourced from local/organic farmers whenever possible. It's nice to see that Walmart is working toward sustainability but they still have a long, long way to go to be a carbon-neutral company. If they were to set a goal of being carbon-neutral within 10-15 years, I would be happy to shop at Walmart.
