Dell, The Conservation Fund and Carbonfund.org have partnered to offset the carbon dioxide produced when customers power their computer systems. Called "Plant a Tree for Me," the program allows customers to make a donation that will be used by the two nonprofits to plant trees in sustainably managed forests.
Through the program, a customer donation of $2 for a notebook and $6 for a desktop computer will offset carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to powering the average computer for three years.
