Dell should adopt a Carbon Neutral program for its products or at least make it an option for consumers in their ordering process. People seem to have the impression that Apple is doing a lot for the environment, when the reality is - Dell's doing more and can do even more!

    Germany calls carbon tariffs "eco-imperialism"

    Germany called a French idea to slap "carbon tariffs" on products from countries that are not trying to cut greenhouse gases a form of "eco-imperialism" and a direct violation of WTO rules.

    The sad thing is that people continue to buy into this nonsense as doubts regarding human-caused global warming, indeed, a warming-cycle, itself, continue to grow.

    Clearly, this has been a PLOY by certain individuals (such as Al Gore) who wish to profit from it either financially or politially. The response to this has been dangerous to FREEDOMS and to national independence due to the press for agreements to invasive international treaties.

    CARING for the environment is ONE thing, and certainly keeping the oceans clean could go high on that list... but seemingly has not.

    However, where there is no political or financial capital to be had, the gullible seem to follow behind like sheep, believing whatever those in power wish them to.

    Sad.

    I work on Dell's environmental initiatives, and wanted to let you all know about our announcement this week that Dell plans to be the first major computer company to neutralize the carbon impact of its worldwide operations. See the Ideas in Action page for more info, or read the blog post on Direct2Dell. @smotchberry - thanks for your idea! Ideas in Action

    Trees must be planted in areas devastated by us" What are you talking about? The massive de-forestation of CHINA (A COMMUNIST Country, mind you), or the USA where we have MORE trees today than we did when we started this nation? Did you forget that the top 5 CO2 polluters are MOTHER NATURE herself? The DOT of CO2 that humans produce doesn't even properly measure comparatively.

    The movement for Carbon Free is running around the world... I was talking with some guys from some Non Governamental Organisations (NGO's) that are promoting carbon free campaigns and 1 thing comes to my mind. How stop the carbon comsumption or generation of lots of tons of CO2? It's a utopia. The human race evolved burning things. Even those communities that avoid anything industrialized. They use something that fire has burned and generated tons of CO2... The best campaingn is promote the Carbon Compensation. Trees must be planted in areas devasted by us. Houses must own a little garden and every human being should plant at least 3 trees during his life (and keep them growing forever). Promote usage of renewal energy sources - Atomic/Nuclear, Hydro energetics, Tide, solar... About solar, how about getting heat and some electricity from the sun? It's cheaper and there's no taxes related to it... or the government is crazy enough to create a tax regarding Usage of Sun Radiation?(If they do, call them Vampires - they don't like the sun!) Closing my thougts: Great/Grand/Big companies should support the Carbon Compensation program. Hopefully this will dim the demand of energy generated by any kind of power plants. Carbon Free is utopia...

    Dell already has a GREEN program in place that is being developed... in the meantime if that isn't good enough for you, go to Al Gore's website and buy one of those bogus carbon offsets.

    Why don't we just do like the Chinese? They are NOT in the Kyoto treaty, so what they do is they build Coal Power Plants and say they are going to turn them on. Some European company/country buys the power plant, destroys the plant, and absorbs the Carbon Credits... Now they can pollute more in Europe, since they destroyed the filthy power plant in China. China laughs, and builds another plant right next to the old one... HA HA!! China is Exempt! The Kyoto treaty is defunkt! HA HA HA... I couldn't stop laughing when I read it in the WSJ.

    Carbon Neutral will look very stupid in a couple of years when the tide is turning and we get ICE AGE warnings again....

    But hey, I'm sure it makes some people happy. Does it matter or does it help? No.
