Right now people in the industrialized world are facing two very grave problems: obesity and a growing scarcity of oil.  Compounding this problem is the new food shortage brought about, in part, by the conversion of food cropland to bio-fuel crop production.  Most people feel powerless to help, but there is one thing that we can do.  Ride our bicycles to work. 

If everyone would agree to ride their bikes to work one day per week we could cut oil consumption by as much as 10-15%.  No one would argue that riding a bike burns more calories than driving the car.  Although popular politically right now, most bio-fuels consume more energy than they produce.  We would be much better to eat those bio-crops then use our own energy to transport us around. 

So spread the word.  Make it a movement!  Bicycle to work one day a week and do your part to cut back obesity and the overuse of oil and precious cropland.

first – it’s worth noting that we provide free recycling for Dell products every day of the year with no purchase required, and will recycle other companies products with purchase of a new Dell.

also – among our other enviro initiatives – we announced earlier this month that our HQ campus (2.1 million sq ft of buildings) is running on 100 percent green power. A big step in meeting our carbon neutral goal that we set last year.

Thanks – any questions on our programs just let me know, Bryant
