yeah, great resource — thanks for the reminder.

and yes, nice to see companies lining up.

the thing is, big companies (including ridiculous #34) know how to “prep for the test” so to speak… they know how to do things to labelled green even if they are in the business of such things as oil (or oil-dependent cars, which aren’t all that eco-friendly either ;D)

I always check the Greenpeace guide to greener electronics before buying electronics: http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/climate-change/cool-it/Campaign-analysis/Guide-to-Greener-Electronics/

What I do find enheartening is, that most of the brands that made it to Greenpeace’s list are in the Green Brand list too. The order is not quite the same, but the top two (HP and Dell) are. It suggests that you can do quite a reliable and reproducible ranking of companies based on their environmental performance.

But what’s that stinkin’ oil company doing at 34? They’re preparing to start operations in the Arctic with woefully inadequate disaster response plans & equipment.

Sure these automakers are really leading the way. Even in india, tata group which owns jaguar and land rover released a car prototype named megapixel last year in geneva which the company officials say will give a whopping 100kmpl fuel economy…
