My Dad has stock in Wal-mart and berates me about [View All]

my stance on their bad practices. Once he actually said, who else is going to hire "those people." I couldn't talk to him for days because I was actually shocked. But, now I was trying to explain that Costco was a better company and he just said you are wrong. Then, I said that all this talk is really irrelevant as we should be more concerned with the GDP and how we judge our economic success by production and profit. I said that all this growth is unsustainable and will destroy our air, land and water.

He just accused me of not practicing what I preach as I drive a car and do not walk, use heat in the winter, and use air-condition in the summer etc....

That may be true but I did run for office as a green, I am writing for a local indi-news paper, I recycle, I teach art and educate all my students about the environment. We do lots of environmental awareness art.

I taught a class for art teachers on environmentalism and artists and current works.

I tried to find info on the seriousness of the plight of our earth but couldn't find any articles that would express my position on the unsustainability of our growth.

Do you guys have any suggestions?
