How long can you go with your PC?

The Bite

Pretty low if you're talking PC energy, it turns out. The newest computers on the market are also the greenest computers on the market as more manufacturers decided to get down with planet-friendliness.

The Benefits

*Low waste. Manufacturers are using recycled plastic in computers and packaging, and making sure components are easily recyclable when they become obsolete.
*Lower caustic chem levels. Companies are phasing out chems like the human toxins arsenic and mercury, found in typical PC screens.
*Even lower energy use. If we replaced all the old computers in the United States with new Energy Star-qualified ones, it'd be like taking more than 2.7 mil cars off the road over the computers' lifetimes.

Personally Speaking
Everyone of us must uses laptops instead of more energy-intensive desktops, which saves big on bills and allows for more "offsite meetings" at our favorite watering holes.
