Wal-Mart stores, Chipotle, and McDonald’s have jumped on board the eco-friendly bandwagon by building environmentally conscious outlets. Experts assert the new stores target eco-conscious customers who want to feel better about consumerism and live more healthfully. The football-sized parking lots and meat-centered menus, however, still contradict the retailers’ green switch-a-roo.
