At Home Depot, How Green Is That Chainsaw?
Some environmentalists say that Home Depot is being too inclusive in its new Eco Options marketing campaign

At no point in the HD shopping experience do I feel green...starting the moment I pull into the parking lot that a few short years back was an ecosystem in and of itself. Few corporations strike me as more disingenuous. Orange is very not green.
