Dell Is now 100% carbon neutral, reaching goal 5 months ahead of schedule

They are still purchasing carbon offsets yet they seem to be making a huge effort to improve their environmental policy. Is this worldwide?

nice... thats amazing

Beautiful

Cheers to Dell.

Now lets see if they can build a computer that lasts longer than a year.

Their computers do suck, but at least they're trying.

Haha beat me to it south.

Their technology is overpriced and their computers suck, but at least they have a conscience.

BIG DEAL

well I have not been a fan of dell in the past but this along with them selling Ubuntu on some of there computers make me like them, even if I would not buy from them again.

YAY!!!
That's AWESOME!!! I've never had a preferance, but yay Dell!

Take that Mac.

If Dell is carbon neutral, I am an Angel, sent to deliver justice to this World!

Its great and all but dell still makes shitty computers. THATS why i bought my mac. Apple may not be Carbon Neutral but they are working towards more ecologically friendly products.

renewable energy certificates? verified emission reductions?

More bullshit to confuse the masses- Keep in mind folks that Dell isn't polluting any less- they are simply buying credits and claiming them- It's like the buying a copyright and saying you invented the thing you bought the copyright for.

The whole thing is very misleading.

this is pretty cool. But are they really doing this? and if so, why isn't everyone doing it?

I love Dwell!

Dell used to be the bomb back when they first came out. Now they are trash. They are making an effort though.

My question is, how do they plan on protecting 591,000 acres of threatened tropical forest habitats in Madagascar when they can't even keep their lawn green?

maybe they can start making a better computer now.

im from texas i can talk shit about texans

That's great news! Now if only they could get their website to work and their customer service to properly answer questions, I could respect them as a company!

I got a gift card for their site a while back and I simply can't wait until it's all used up. Still, this makes me think enduring the hell of ordering Dell products might be a noble sword to throw myself upon.

Yes, this is World Wide. My Dad works for Dell and this has been the talk for a while now.

I love how everyone disses Dell for being a "lousy" computer. People, educate yourselves before speaking, please. ALL COMPUTERS, INCLUDING APPLE, are made of the same items. Get pissed at NVIDIA, SATA, SolidState, not the name on the front of the computers.

And I can't believe all of you buy into this hype of the proprietary Apple, Inc. I work for this company and they disgust me, I'll be leaving within the next month.

EDIT: Also, if Dell is such a shitty, expensive computer (which makes me laugh because you all buy into the Apple monopoly), why do so many businesses rely on Dell? Hrm, I don't think a shitty computer will be trusted by the Government, by the banks, etc...

Just because they purchased carbon credits does not mean they don't use toxic materials in their computers, or that their computers are pretty shitty, or the fact that they have all but the government-purchased (including private employee purchasing) tech support via phone shipped out to India....

Last time I checked only Apple still ran a US-based call center.

horray for dell.

kudos for them for doing such a thing so quickly. starting the bandwagon you could say.

if only i could get tech support to make a dell run without crashing every other day...

Yes only Apple runs a US-based call center but there was a proposal to run a call center in India. Although nobody on the board agreed to it.

I agree with DevilX, all computers are made up of pretty much the same parts. The one thing that stands Apple apart from the rest is the OS. So be upset with Microsoft.

Now only if they could make computers that don't suck.

lest we forget those Dude your getting a Dell commercials

the future of the planet will not be secure until someone kills that bro
