The Direct2Dell blog states that: “Dell is making important strides on our company’s climate goals.  Earlier this month, we announced that our 300-acre global headquarters campus is running on 100 percent green power and reaffirmed our commitment to purchase as much green power as is feasible.  We are also ahead of schedule to make our operations carbon neutral beginning this year.”

Dell’s blog boasts that it is “working towards environmental goals and achieving cost-saving benefits of efficiencies – currently more than $2 million a year in energy-cost savings.  Our customers are seeing equally dramatic savings from switching to energy-efficient IT products.”

In an effort to really pump up its green credentials, Dell’s blog also indicated plans to “convene a formal ReGeneration Advisory Group to help guide its efforts. The group will be chaired by Alexandra Cousteau, president of EarthEcho and granddaughter of marine biologist Jacques Cousteau; Chuck Leavell, keyboardist for the Rolling Stones, conservationist and avid tree farmer; and Laura Turner Seydel, eco-living expert and chairman of the Captain Planet Foundation.”

So… who’ll be next to encase their tech in wood?

Well, Fujitsu have previewed some rather funky looking wood encased notebooks, pictures of which you can see here, while someone has created a wooden case for a Creative Zen Stone mp3 player, viewable here.

But we’re sure they won’t be the last!
