Computer giant Dell Inc. appears to feel right at home during this year's Earth Week festivities - and one need look no further than a tiny, bamboo-encased desktop computer that the mammoth manufacturer unveiled today. While details - such as name and specs - are currently hard to come by, it can be reported that Dell's eco-friendly PC is partially constructed from recycled bottles, detergent containers, and milk jugs. Also, the bamboo shelled computer is 81% smaller than a standard desktop platform, and uses 70% less energy, as well. This is the type of market-conscious thinking that made Dell a household name in the first place, and while we must accept that not everything can be made in an environmentally friendly manner, responsible development and use of renewable/recycled materials like this is great to see.
