Reminder: The Mayor has called a special Yucca Valley Town Council meeting TONIGHT, May 15, at 7:30 p.m. on the topic of clear-cutting and mass grading. This is of critical importance. Be there!! More info here.
But also today (2-8 p.m.) will be an open house sponsored by Wal-Mart at the Community Center. This attempt to sell the warmer and fuzzier new SuperCenter to the citizens of Yucca Valley is described in Wednesday's Hi-Desert Star. It would appear from Rebecca Unger's article that company PR hacks are quick to trot out as their softsoap centerpiece the controversial Adam Werbach, former Sierra Club president and now environmental consultant to WalMart.
Werbach seems to have some earnest ideas on spreading environmental education. But unfortunately, whatever it is he believes he's doing, the result of his trade with WalMart was exactly predictable: His name and former affiliation are being used to sell WalMart. Right here. To us.
Thanks, Adam.
