Last week saw Toshiba launch its new carbon emissions scheme, offering laptop purchasing customers the chance to offset the carbon emissions incurred by the use and manufacture of the laptop. Customers wishing to subscribe to the scheme can take up the option offered by Toshiba to donate £1.18 at the point of purchase, which will go towards a tree planting scheme in Cumbria.
It is latest in a long line of green schemes announced by IT firms, with leading PC manufacturers Hewlett Packard and Dell already offering similarly environmentally friendly schemes. Dell’s Plant a Tree For Me is almost identical to the scheme offered by Toshiba, whilst HP’s various green schemes include the use of solar power, wind power and renewable energy .
