Dell to go 'carbon neutral' by late 2008 Dell will neutralize its carbon emissions and become carbon neutral by the end of 2008, chairman and CEO Michael Dell announced Wednesday. Companies of all sizes going green It has become a routine part of any given week to hear from IT companies about "green" innovations -- products or prototypes designed to have less of an effect on the environment. August 3, 12:09 p.m. PDT The realities of green computing More and more lately, IT vendors trumpet their electronic-waste recycling and "takeback" programs where manufacturers accept responsibility for the full lifecycle of goods they produce. Better yet, we're told, is the rapid trend toward "green computing" with electronics being produced using fewer toxic substances and materials that cannot be recycled. August 3, 12:05 p.m. PDT The continued greening of IT Back in April, when InfoWorld folded its print magazine in favor of our current online-all-the-time strategy, a reader noted that he didn’t buy the stated reasons for our switchover. His own theory, which I’ll paraphrase here, was something along the lines of this: “InfoWorld is based in San Francisco, the home of environmental extremists. I’m thinking the real reason you did this was to save paper.”  July 16, 3:00 a.m. PDT Four reasons to cultivate greener IT I recently moved from a small apartment in Oakland to a new house in Sacramento. The cat and I are adjusting quite well, thank you, though for about one month, I was without a kitchen. Or a water heater. Or downstairs flooring. It may not have been the best-laid renovation plan.
