Thought I would make a short mention of the earthNOW ‘Green Retail’ conference in Las Vegas on June 5 – 6. I don’t have much information as to whether this is a worthwhile conference that can lead retailers down the path of environmental stewardship or merely a conference capitalizing on green hype and promoting greenwashing. However, Vegas, with its huge monstrous hotels and every growing thirst for energy and water seems to me to not be the greatest choice of venues.
