Morality and ethics do not help companies make money. If they did then the
Big Boys (Lowes, HD, etc.,) wouldn't even be in existence -- they would have
realized that they were going to drive mom & pop garden centers, small
lumber companies, etc. out of business.

It's all about squashing the little guy.

Some good points made in this thread, but a few other points go a bit
far in defending the big retailers. I don't think the retailers "want
to waste the resources of the world," but I do think they don't give
such things as value, morality or ethics a moments thought. They'd
toss their toxic wastes into the nearest creek if they thought they'd
get away with it.
