About

The purpose of this blog is to inform consumers of the effects, both positive and negative, which "Big-Box" stores such as Walmart or Target have on their communities and the environment.  The blog will explore what happens to the local economy when stores like Walmart are built, as well as how these stores contribute to issues such as pollution and overcrowding.  Overall, the blog will attempt to answer whether or not, for all their benefits, Big-Box stores are worth it in the end.
