Dell, HP, IBM Are the Greenest Companies
Dell seems to be the best at loving the earth.
These days running a good business is more than just about profits and putting out a product that sells; businesses also need to be mindful of their environmental impact. Newsweek has ranked the top 500 publicly traded companies in the U.S. and tech companies dominate the top spots.
Out of the top 10, eight of them are technology companies, perhaps showing that the tech sector either cares most about the environment, or is able to retool quickly to respond to environmental factors better than any other industry.
The greenest company, according to Newsweek, is Dell. Following closely at second and third by Hewlett-Packard and IBM.
Intel comes it at number five, followed by Sprint Nextel, Adobe Systems, Applied Materials and Yahoo! AMD and Cisco were in the top 20 at twelfth and thirteenth, respectively.
Some industry onlookers are surprised that Apple didn't place higher, given its recent efforts in using recyclable materials, but Newsweek put it at 65th spot.
Microsoft placed 29th, Google made 36th and Motorola was 43rd.

You're recycling wrong!
You're recycling wrong!
What about companies that make solar cells or electric vehicles?
It's probably how big their carbon footprint is for a company of their size.
That's what I'm guessing.
probably has something to do with the large large amounts of electricity your server farms are consuming, the kind of electricity data centers consume requires their own electrical grid, probably one of the key reasons Google decided to build their own wind farm
You do realize that 65th place is still really, really good, right?
By the way, this green BS is for the ignorant (IMO).
