Is this one of Wal-Mart’s new initiatives to reduce waste in packaging?

Taken at the back of a large Wal-Mart Super Store when I was out scouting for waterfowl at the Celery Bog, a large wetlands area that abuts the back of this giant retailer. (MT)
Another shot of this can be found in the discussion.

Love the color and close up detail in this, Rona..perfect image for the MT.
Good for Walmart to take this initiative...though not a fan of many of their policies, this is a good one! #9270608
