Wellness road trip
Walgreen Wellness Tour buses, like the one pictured below
in Puerto Rico, provide free health screenings and build
community relations across America. At one event (right),
Nixza Rodriguez, service clerk in Caguas, Puerto Rico,
dressed as a clown for photo opportunities with children
when the bus came to town. One bus is a co-branded
partnership with the National Urban League.

Light-years of energy savings
Since 1968, we’ve been one of General Electric’s early adopters
of energy-efficient technologies. We’re using GE’s high-efficiency
ceiling lighting in more than 6,000 stores across the United
States and Puerto Rico. This saves about $10 million in energy
costs a year. This year, we introduced a light-emitting diode
(LED) solution for refrigerated display lighting (left) in all our
new stores. Also, under the Walgreen brand, we sell compact
fluorescent bulbs (far left) that are up to 75 percent more
energy efficient than traditional bulbs. In 2007, sales of these
bulbs increased 200 percent over the previous year.
