Green Computers

This has to be one of the most innovative ways of campaigning for a greener tomorrow. Greenpeace has begun a campaign for greener electronics. They've targeted the iPod and are try to convince Steve Jobs and gang to build a 'green' iPod. Pretty cool idea.

Broadening the scope of the campaign, Greenpeace has this page which allows u to send an email to all the big computer manufacturers' CEOs telling them to wisen up and smell the salt from the rising sea levels. So to speak.

All you have to do is:

1. go to http://www.greenpeace.org/international/news/greening-of-apple-310507/greencomputerchallenge
2. Enter your name and email ID
3. Click on 'Next'
4. And then click on the link in the confirmation email that is sent to the ID you have given.

Simple aint it?

A copy of the email is given below:

Dear CEO

When I next need to replace my computer I would like to have the choice of buying a greener computer.

Your company, along with others in the industry, has improved environmental policies and promised products free of the most hazardous chemicals in 2008/9.

My challenge to you is to be the first company to put on the market a computer entirely without the worst chemicals (Brominated flame retardants, Polyvinyl chloride) to clearly demonstrate your leadership in greener computing.

Yours sincerely,
