I had no idea Home Depot was that open minded!
I put blown-in insulation in my house this weekend. Well, my dad did most of the work getting the attic ready so I think he actually gets the credit but that isn’t the point.

My apologies to those of you who believe artificial Christmas trees are blasphemous.

Here's a look at the ROE of Home Depot and Lowe's over the last few years:Considering all the negativity surrounding Home Depot, this has to come as a surprise to most. But looking at ROE alone does not tell the full story of how well a company is managed. If one company is too highly leveraged, then ROE can look good for a long period of time, before finally crashing down and leaving shareholders

Compact fluorescent light bulbs are an increasingly popular way to save energy. But improper disposal of the bulbs creates a hazard, because they contain small amounts of mercury.
Home Depot, the nation’s second-largest retailer, has announced that it will take back old compact fluorescents in all of its U.S. stores, creating the nation’s most widespread recycling program for the bulbs.

Tuesday, Home Depot announced their new CFL recycling program, which puts them on the map as the single largest retailer and recyclers of the Mercury filled compact fluorescent lightbulbs.

That did not take long. Anyone care to wager the doomed from the beginning share repurchase plan at Home Depot (HD) is not completed next year either?
Aside from suspending the buyback plans, they also said the recapitalization plan under which they planned to buy back $22.5 billion in stock would not be completed this year. Under that plan, the company bought back about 290 million common shares for $10.7 billion earlier this year in a tender offer. Most of those repurchases were done with...

At least two consumers died from inhaling Stand 'n Seal fumesThe Home Depot continued to sell a noxious tile sealer even after the product was recalled and the spray-on substance sent more consumers to the emergency room, according to The New York Times.Stand 'n Seal seriously injured at least 80 people, killing at least two. The substance often would result in dizziness, wooziness, foam at the mouth, loss of consciousness and extensive lung damage.The Home Depot and the manufacturer, BRTT, originally recalled the product in August 2005. BRTT reformulated Stand 'n Seal and without doing any comprehensive testing, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission took the manufacturer's word that the new product was safe.But all BRTT did was give the product a pungent chemical smell, hoping to more effectively warn consumers to use the product only in a well-ventilated area.Link to complete story: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/10/stand_seal.html ~Sandy G.

Home Depot (HD) released earnings today and it was just ugly. It also will lead to the death of the Supply division and a drastic reduction of the massive buyback that was announced because without one, the other cannot happen. Even if I am wrong and they do manage to sell Supply, it will be for such a reduced price that the buyback will still be reduced even father than already announced.

Clearwater Florida is Getting Greener Today many Clearwater home owners are looking for ways to be more "Eco Friendly" - from recycling to using green products when possible. The desire is often there before the products. Local residents oftne tell me they'd like to be more "eco-friendly" but they aren't sure where to start. Well, now it's going to be even easier for everyone to find more environmentally friendly products in Clearwater, Florida and everywhere else that has a neighborhood Home Depot. Why? Because Home Depot is working aggressively to fully implement its new Eco Options program. They are working to get the best eco-friendly products into their stores for their customers. They invited all the suppliers of their 176,000 products to submit any "green products" they have for consideration in their Eco Options program. They were surprise when their suppliers ca
Home Depot recently made application to be included in its new Eco-Options program, almost 1/3 of its new products applied for inclusion.
However, it’s not as rosy as it sounds.
According to Environmental Reader,
Plastic-handled paint brushes were touted as nature-friendly because they were not made of wood. Wood-handled paint brushes were promoted as better for the planet because they were not made of plastic.
“Most of what you see today in the green movement is voodoo marketing,” said Ron Jarvis, a Home Depot senior vice president who oversees the Eco Options program.
Only 2,500 of the products, including solar-powered landscape lighting, biodegradable peat pots and paints that discharge fewer pollutants, made the cut.
I’m all for companies going green, but to do it with increasing business as the primary incentive is not the way to go. While Home Depot has some great green products — and a lot of other products you can use yourself to go green — reading
