Dell, Sam's Club help consumers go green

3/1/2008

ROUND ROCK, Texas and BENTONVILLE, Ark. Dell has partnered with Sam's Club to help consumers offset their impact on their environment when they purchase a laptop or desktop. Through its "Plant a Tree for Me" program, shoppers on samsclub.com can make donations toward reducing carbon dioxide in the air.

Through the program, customers contribute $2 for a laptop and $6 for a desktop, with the money going toward the planting of trees that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Dell partners with The Conservation Fund and the Carbonfund.org, non-profit organizations that plant trees in sustainably managed reforestation projects.

“Our success in addressing climate change, energy depletion and other global challenges ultimately depends on our ability to empower and inspire the ReGeneration, people of all ages who care about the environment,” said Tod Arbogast, director of sustainable business at Dell. “Programs like ‘Plant a Tree for Me’ provide a simple and tangible way to make a difference.”
