Full story: Refurbished Computers are Turning Green (4-Oct-07)

Computers largely contribute to the problem of global warming; not only do they send CO2 into the atmosphere but they also contain lead which on a global level is extremely toxic to the environment, released through computer disposal. Unlike America, Europe has stepped up to the challenge of a Green PC; one of the requirements will be that it is lead free.

Vendors have shown efforts to become more “green” through schemes such as Dell’s computer recycling program and PC World’s Green PC which focuses on decreasing the power usage of its personal computer.
