An old tradition gets a green update.

Even the relay torches will be recycled. Check out the story here: http://news.discovery.com/tech/vancouver-olympic-torch-green.html. The folks in Vancouver have made several other efforts to minimize their environmental impact. Please share a comment on any interesting green Olympic efforts that you come across.

iPad - It's new, it's cool, and it's green???

According to U.S. News and World Report:

"Here are some of the green features for the iPad: It's BPR-free, PVC-free, has arsenic-free display glass, a mercury-free LCD display, and a glass and aluminum enclosure that is highly recyclable. That gives the device relatively the same eco-cred as the MacBook Air. The device will also feature a 10-hour battery life, and more than a month of standby battery capacity, meaning it will hold charge after long periods of inactivity."

But is it really green???
