Event Details

Paul Revere was in Lakeview the other day shouting "Walmart is coming! Walmart is coming!"

Popular opinion says the battle to stop the company from infiltrating Chicago has been lost, but that hasn't stopped certain Aldermen and community groups from resisting their spread. The retailing giant is one of the biggest drivers of sustainability in the country, and has been the focus of considerable attention and controversy. At Green Drinks this month, we will illuminate the potential benefits and dangers of living near, competing with, and shopping at Walmart.

Panelists

John Bisio
Director of State Government Affairs, Walmart

Suzanne Keers
