By itself it could sustain itself, remain likewise for millennia. Man has due to greed, inherent compulsions to expand, abusing of intelligence for wrong purposes created innumerable entrapments and accoutrements which are now threatening his own existence. It is time for us to investigate whether "objects" are giving us bliss or we are naturally blissful even without them. "The world seems to need more and more people who need less and less objects!" - krishnan Thu, 21 May 2009 04:31:09 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/green-software/543#comment-17520 It is nice..! :( - BLVRao Sat, 09 Aug 2008 22:43:57 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/green-software/543#comment-17495 :D It is nice to hear about the green side of dell. dell can contribute a lot for using computing as optimized without compromising reliability, performance, security. - BLVRao Fri, 08 Aug 2008 22:00:26 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/green-software/543#comment-2935 The scepticism about rouge used carbon salesmen is appropriate. However, it is clear that quality carbon offsets can be beneficial to the planet particularly if the offsets are for greenhouse emissions that have no optional greenhouse reduction strategy. A case in point is air travel. If you do travel by air then it is appropriate to offset the emissions. For this reason Uncook carbon offset have been designed as a quality product with highly additional projects administered through the respected Greenhouse Gas Abatement Scheme. See www.uncook.com for more information. - Guy Lane Mon, 11 Jun 2007 14:53:31 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/green-software/543#comment-1952 We all have to start exactly where we are, yes? How could we start anywhere else? :D So each little baby step towards making our lives better, cleaner, and healthier is a good thing. We simply need to remember that the goal is still ahead of us, and keep moving forward! - Matt James Fri, 13 Apr 2007 21:07:03 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/green-software/543#comment-1950 I agree with Ashley - at least in the short run, carbon offsets are a good idea because they do help mitigate the damage that's being done to the environment. I also think it's important to make sure the carbon offset companies are actually doing what they say they are; evidence definitely exists that not all of them do. However, given that Dell is doing this, I'm confident they have done their homework. I have to say that in the long run, at the core I oppose the idea of offsets. It's our responsibility, both that of individuals and companies, to change our behavior, even though that may be inconvenient and difficult. As a temporary fix under certain conditions, though, I do see the usefulness.

In a perfect world, there'd be no pollution. But that perfect world probably also doesn't involve the human race, so in the meantime I appreciate seeing large corporations use their heft for good instead of... evil, I guess...to put it into blatantly black and white terms. We all have to start [i]somewhere[/i] and Dell is doing a pretty awesome job, imho. - Ashley Fri, 13 Apr 2007 17:36:27 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/green-software/543#comment-1946 I'd prefer no pollution at all instead of polluting and planting trees. Trees only help the CO2. What about everything else? - Michael Fri, 13 Apr 2007 15:49:13 +0100
