</font><font size=4><b>Major bird-dogging event: DELL President
speaks at Boston College on November 3rd! <br><br>
</b></font><font face="Georgia">Toxic computer waste is threatening our
health and the environment, and taking action on the Dell campaign this
semester is really important!<br><br>
Dell Inc. purposefully sends mixed messages to the public regarding their
commitment to an e-waste (electronic waste) solution, distracting our
attention away from the human and environmental impacts their products
create. They recycle just a drop in the bucket of computer waste that
exists, but engage in public relations tactics, like one-day collection
events and small recycling efforts to bolster their ‘green’ image in the
public eye. Dell Inc. has yet to make a firm commitment to comprehensive
take back programs and clean design. <br><br>
Dell will be on<i> our</i> turf, and we'll use this opportunity to combat
the "green" image that Dell's public relations firm is sending
out to the media and the public.<br><br>
