    In reply to HP Ranked #1 Green Company (What!?)
    What surprised me in the rankings, and perhaps made me a fan of Newsweek's approach, was their ranking of Marathon Oil at 100 on their top 500. Having family that worked for Marathon, I can attest to the fact that they have always had protecting the environment on their agenda, and it was pretty exciting for Newsweek to acknowledge that. Sure, drilling oil and burning it is not a good thing, but we need oil and Marathon is easily the most environmentally friendly oil company out there. #greenpeace

    I'm grateful for 1. tech companies that care about their effect on the environment; 2. organizations that let consumers know how we can use discriminate spending to make a difference.

    My choices for a new laptop just narrowed drastically. #greenpeace

    in other words, greenpeace's methodology is unfairly weighted towards maximum drama from minimal catalyst.

    gee, who woulda expected such a thing? #greenpeace

    Greenpeace made their listings with the use of chemicals or lack thereof as the biggest determining factor. Using less toxins is important but less emissions, use of recyclable materials and general less use of materials matters more.

    It really is interesting that there's such a huge difference in rankings between the two lists. Yeah, HP being 1st on one and 14th on the other is pretty notable, but check out companies like Apple... 106th on Newsweek's list, and 9th on Greenpeace's list...

    106th and 9th?

    I guess that goes to show that they really do have quite different criteria for their evaluations.

    also worth reading: "Green points for Hewlett Packard and Apple"

    @brobot: You're right, but you have to keep in mind that Apple only ranks a few companies, so Apple's ranking delta between the two lists isn't as large. Apple is in the front of one list and in the middle of the other whereas HP is at the front of one list and darn near in last place in the other. #greenpeace

    green peace can go fuck themselves.*

    @Crazy_Talk: I work in Palo Alto and saw them protesting the morning of the incident, I didn't hear about the "paint job" until later that day. Greenpeace needs to change their tactics and or get lives, they looked like a bunch of idiots.

    I worked for HP at one time, didn't really like the experience, but found it memorable that they actually had a staff dedicated to recycling. I'm talking about people that made 120k plus to organize it.

    Not a fan of HP, but they kind of deserve the green ranking.

    @Shamoononon: See "Marketing Expense" on the income statement to see how much the salaries of recycling staff are. HP wouldn't have them if there was not signifigant reputation enhancing value in them. It's important to remember that when you look at this list. Few companies are there because they actually care, nor should they, as it's not their primary job. #greenpeace

    @spacetrig: Same here. Their support was great for me when my keyboard went bad.

    I also like their screens since they're still glossy. I'd rather have my extra light be reflected off the screen, where then I have more control over it, than absorbed into it with an "anti-glare" coating on it.
