Shoppers Happy to Pay Extra for "Green" Gadgets

Reader Comments

Back to blog

Why do you think Union employees shop at Wal-Mart.

I've been in Sales for over 20 years and given the choice between two products, one that is less money and works great vs a "green" product that cost more, the buyer 98% of the time will pick the lower priced product.

Someday people will realize that people lie on survey's. I don't think they mean to lie, they want to say and do the right thing. But when the rubber means the road the money wins.
