Dell: Greener Than The Rest

In celebration of World Environment Day, Michael Dell is announcing his plans to make Dell the greenest technology company on the planet. He pledged:
to reduce our own carbon intensity 15 percent by 2012. We have piloted power management initiatives throughout our global facilities that have shown tremendous energy and cost savings, we're investigating how we can share this with customers.
Dell has clearly been at the forefront of green initiatives in the PC industry. According to ecogeek, they're allowing customers to offset the lifetime carbon of their PCs (and even themselves) and they have developed an excellent recycling strategy and efficient desktop and laptop designs. In an effort to engage greenies far and wide, they are asking for consumers via the environment section IdeaStorm for ideas on going green.

Dell in many ways is the golden child to the Austin hi-tech industry, and with this current committment to green, we look forward to a whole new glow to the Austin and hi-tech communities far and wide!
