Climate change is among the biggest environmental issues this century. While most agree that we must do something, the challenge can appear to be too great, too complicated for any one of us to make a difference... until now.
Dell is committed to leading the IT industry on environmental stewardship. Today we’re living in the "Re-Generation," which includes people of all ages throughout the world who want to make a difference in improving the earth we all share. As part of the zero-carbon initiative, Dell are partnering with customers to become the greenest technology company on earth.
Dell, in partnership with The Conservation Fund and Carbonfund.org, has launched ‘Plant a Tree for Me,’ a program that makes it easy and affordable for individuals, corporations or even entire communities to “go zero” by measuring and then offsetting their carbon emissions associated with the electricity generated to power an extended portfolio of IT products – simply by planting trees. Additionally, participants can offset the estimated total one-year carbon impact of an average person by donating $99 to the program.
Dell administers the collection of the donation and remits it to it's partners who will use 100 percent of the donated funds to facilitate the planting of trees.
The Conservation Fund is America's top-rated environmental non-profit organisation by the American Institute of Philanthropy, and its climate-change programs, including Go ZeroSM, have resulted in the planting of more than nine million trees that will trap more than 13.5 million tons of CO2. Since 1985, the Fund and its partners, dedicated to tangible, on-the-ground results, have protected more than 5.5 million acres of the nation’s outdoor heritage – our wildlife habitat and watersheds, working landscapes and community open-space.
Carbonfund.org is a non-profit organization that educates the public about the dangers of climate change and makes it easy and affordable for individuals, businesses and organisations to reduce their climate impact.
