It's a new home computer that is supposed to be "sweeter than an apple." It's small, quiet, efficient, and actually affordable. It utilizes Cloud Computing, but there's no subscription fee. Should be worth a look. If you’re still in the market for a green PC, check out Cherrypal.

Regardless of which computer you end up purchasing, by applying the power management tools you already have on your PC or laptop you can save an average of $20 per year on your energy bill and help slow global warming.

I know you can return old computers to several of the manufacturers for parts. Donating them to schools in your area if they are still working is another option. Even giving a computer away for free, which I did with an 11 year old computer that a college student wanted for typing papers is a good option. The last thing anyone should do is to throw it in the trash to leach into our soils.
