Greenpeace will never give Apple credit until Apple gives Greenpeace credit, as in, a line of credit to Apple's huge Greenpeace dollar contribution to the organization. Dell has free worldwide recycling. I guess do to demand? Whereas Apple products actually remain with the consumer longer. "Dell achieved carbon neutrality for its operations in August", let me guess, by buying into the Al Gore's hoax... "Al Gore's Inconvenient Loot

Former Vice President Al Gore has built a Green money-making machine capable of eventually generating billions of dollars for investors, including himself, but he set it up so that the average Joe can't afford to play on Gore's terms. And the US portion is headed up by a former Gore staffer and fund raiser who previously ran afoul of both the FEC and the DOJ, before Janet Reno jumped in and shut down an investigation during the Clinton years.

As Bill Hobbs first pointed out, Gore supposedly pays for his extra-large carbon footprint through Generation Investment Management (GIM) - and if you're looking to go green, and have your wallet go along with Gore, think again - average people are too insignificant to play - verifiable from this pdf.

Generation is based in London, with its U.S. offices in Washington, DC. The firm will manage the assets of institutional investors such as pension funds, foundations and endowments, as well as those of select high net worth individuals.* Generation expects to make extensive use of long-term performance based fees. Generation will begin its investment management business in early 2005.

* like Al Gore

Gore's company, GIM was specifically established to take financial advantage of new technologies and solutions related to combating Global Warming. The Global Warming crowd has told us that just recently new science emerged confirming the alleged fact that Global Warming is man made. So, ask yourself, why is it that Gore set up his Green money machine three years ago back in 2004? Is it possible Gore knew what the science would say before it was out? And even if not, can an individual who stands to make millions from Global Warming really be trusted as an honest broker on that topic? Talk about giving the fox the keys to the hen penthouse.

Even if Global Warming did exist, in principle, what's the difference between war profiteering and this? One could justifiably argue that Gore is taking advantage of, in his opinion, a catastrophic situation to clean up - and I don't mean the environment.

Here's a list indicating what it takes to make money along with Al. Funds associated with these companies have placed millions of dollars under Al Gore's control. And, as you'll see below, Gore's selection for the US President of GIM might raise a few eyebrows as well.

AFLAC INC - AQUANTIVE INC - AUTODESK INC - BECTON DICKINSON & CO BLACKBAUD INC - GENERAL ELECTRIC CO - GREENHILL & CO INC - JOHNSON CTLS INC - LABORATORY CORP AMER HLDGS - METABOLIX INC - NORTHERN TR CORP - NUVEEN INVTS INC -STAPLES INC - SYSCO CORP - TECHNE CORP - UBS AG - VCA ANTECH INC - WATERS CORP - WHOLE FOODS MKT INC

According to their own documents, GIM intends to invest in, or buy companies poised to cash in on Global Warming concerns. If we borrow John Edward's so-called two Americas concept for a second, this all means higher prices and taxes with more regulation and an altered standard of living for people like you and me, while Al Gore sits ensconced in his other America reaping profits from each new government mandate for us, business and even government itself. It's win win, alright, but mostly for Al."...

Just Google "Al Gore Carbon Neutral Corporation" to find more interesting stories.

Dell needs publicity,and is desperate because they can't sell any of there products. So let's pick on Apple, even though they themselves are no greener than Apple is. Green piss picks on Apple because Apple is getting all of the attention in the press. Maybe its because Apple's products are better quality, work better, run longer, and people actually like using them unlike Dell's which are cheap pieces of c*** that run an antique operating system called winblows. Where's Dells proof of how green they are? I haven't seen anything from green piss that any other company has done more. Also, how can Dell be greener when there boxes have to be 3 times bigger than an Apple shipping box. Apple has given it's proof. Everyone knows that aluminum is fully recyclable. Dells aren't made of aluminum. Apple has a full website describing what goes into there latest laptops. I don't see anything about Dell or any other manufacturer.

I think more of these companies should spend more time teaching by example and less time finding fault in others.

Why does Dell care if Apple is green or not? Dell, just focus on Dell. If Apple is truly s******* up big-time, then they'll get caught and get their just-desserts.

No one likes a tattle-tale. Quit worrying about what others are doing and just be green yourself -- if you're truly good at it, and you truly are green, and you set a great example, then you'll be rewarded justly... but the world doesn't need another morality cop.

Dell, it's not your place to point out the faults of others.

I always see stuff on how Apple's products are not 100% green. What about all the CDs, cases, wrapping, and shipping Apple has saved by creating the iTunes store? Before Apple, no one had all the major record labels in one convenient place. Before the iTunes store, you'd go to a brick and mortar store and buy a CD. Now you just download it. Thanks Apple for making music greener!

I think Green Peace ask Dell to say something against Apple, after that Businessweek report that GP is being bias against Apple, of course, in exchange for a higher or greener rating for Dell.

I don't care if Dell claims their computers are greener. They suck toad balls, are cheap and flimsy, ugly, and they don't run OS X.

My unibody MacBook is lightweight, s***, cool, fast, quiet, and runs OS X.
