Dell Offers Virtual Saplings For Earth Day

Posted by kdawson on from the virtual-carbon-credits dept.

theodp writes "The expansion of Dell's Plant a Tree for Me program into Second Life has the Silicon Valley Sleuth wondering if this represents a new low in Earth Day marketing tie-ins. You may wonder, too, after reading Dell's invitation to its Earth Day Party at Dell Island in SL ('get your own tree sapling to plant in Second Life!')."

    And now I'm really scared about how the elections will go in '08. Absolutely sick, but if it makes Wall St. happy, who am I to argue? This whole "Second Life" is becoming really weird. I hope you keep some method of pulling the plug. I don't want to go to the store to find out they only accept "Second Life" tokens, or whatever you call them. There's something very disturbing about this. Especially if it starts bleeding into "Real Life".
