Green Issues and Politics

The Impact of a Greener Future Begins With Politics

Green Politics and Green IssuesGreen issues and politics. Sounds like a volatile mix of renewable fuel versus gasoline! In truth, it’s an opportunity to share, educate and even be entertained by the potential that lies in a greener future.

There’s no escaping political involvement when it comes to green issues, and truth be told, there’s no more powerful machine than the political machine. At the very least, one party becomes the front-runner on green issues, or as an ultimate hope, they’ll all compete to make the United States (and the world, of course) as green as it can possibly be.

Sound Off About the Environment: Politics and the Planet

At this point, it’s easy to see that the green movement is global, and it’s high time for everyone to get on board. This doesn’t mean that everyone needs to tear their lives down and start over with a green blueprint — baby steps and small changes will do WONDERS in offering life back to the planet that we’ve been blessed with.

Politically Speaking: Green Political Campaigners

Politicians like Al Gore have now seemingly left the game of what some might refer to as “retarded politics” or politics for the sake of politics/slow developing politics, to offer attention to Ecological issues at hand. But it’s time to get beyond those surface scratches and start putting our efforts where our, well, mouths are. Extra efforts of leading by example will speak louder to many than any movie ever could.

Bloggers Complain, Dell Listens About Green Issues

Dell Computers Listen to Bloggers About Packaging Waste
Dell Computers to Promote Green Packaging
After angry rants from tech bloggers across the country, Dell has decided to take heed and listen concerning their unbelievable waste in shipping tiny electronic products.

Dell has already made the claim it wants to be the greenest technology company in the world. At FORTUNE Brainstorm: GREEN, CEO Michael Dell announced his plans to make sure the computer company would remain as eco-conscious as possible.

“Ten years from now,” said Dell, “we will look back and credit ‘green’ IT for helping to mitigate the effects posed by climate change, strengthen global industries and chart a new and prosperous low-carbon economy.”

But bloggers from top tech sites The Consumerist showed photos of Dell’s insincere promise of packaging, including a giant box that held nothing more than a 2GB flash drive.

Dell’s Now Getting Greener — Thanks, Bloggers!

Instead of ignoring the issue, Dell decided to come up with some packaging solutions. Now, flash drives and other small items are going to be shipped in envelopes. Later on, after an optimization analysis of product volume, smaller boxes will be used to ship out products.

On top of this, Direct2Dell has a section titled IdeaStorm for those who want to point out hypocritical behavior, like the packaging problem. Go to ideastorm.com and tell Dell directly what your environmental beef is with their company. It may not be an overnight change, but it certainly proves that talking back to big corporations about environmental issues means they might start listening.
