Dell and Nokia the Most Green (Tech) Companies
da_matta writes "Greenpeace has ranked top electronics companies on their attitudes towards ecology. In addition to what toxic materials are used in manufacturing, the report on "greeness", for example, considers how the recycling of old products is handled and how ecological issues are considered in company processes and decisions. Idea is that the ranking is updated quarterly, and companies would like achieve to the top position. Dell and Nokia take the top position with a rating of 7/10, with Apple, Acer, Motorola and Lenovo falling behind with ratings worse than 3/10."
I work on a Lenovo and it really behaves as if it was made out of recycled parts.
Of course Dell is up there, their Laptops displose of themselves!
Dell, Now with Self disposal support. the reason why dell is a green company is because their most toxic part (the batteries) automatically sef distruct to get rid of pollution.
BUY DELL!... Dude I got a... arson report.
I always thought that was the funnest rule in grammar.
Computers allow humans to make mistakes at the fastest speeds known, with the possible exception of tequila and handguns
"Given that greenness ranks fairly low on the average consumer's list of criteria when making a purchase"
Hmmm. I wonder if there's some sort of organization that could compile some sort of...well, let's call it a report, on the various ecological footprints of various consumer products companies, in an effort to raise...what's that word? Awareness! That's it. Awareness of the value of ecologically friendly manufacturing practices.
The organization would need a catchy name. Something with "green" in it. Green, and something everybody likes. Greenpopsicles. No, not quite...might offend those without freezers. Greenhamsters. No, some people are allergic. Green....green...something...greenpeace...
HEY! That's it! Greenpeace! Somebody get on the phone with somebody else and start an organization called Greenpeace, and have them rank top electronics companies on their attitudes towards ecology. GET ON IT!
Why yes, I AM a rocket scientist!
I think greenpeace is taken by some wacko organization that unlawfully attempts to board other vessels in the ocean, then complains when occupants of said vessel forcefully prevent them from boarding, saying that they could have been hurt by the occupants tactics...
