“The insert in more than 20 Universal Music Group (UMG) titles available now at Wal-Mart as a part of Wal-Mart’s “Earth Month” promotion is so earth-friendly that, when properly planted, the special seed paper will actually bloom into wildflowers. From the uniquely organic insert to environmentally sustainable packaging for new albums from Sheryl Crow, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Counting Crows, and the effort is further proof that green is growing fast in the music industry.” More than 20 titles? That makes it sound like Wal-Mart is expanding its music section! Full list of albums that can double as mood-brighteners after the jump, and no, Ween’s Pure Guava isn’t one of them.
