I see that Lenovo, the Chinese PC maker, has received a much more positive "Green" Report Card, from Greenpeace. The Report Card ranks firms by how green their production processes are and what they do to recycle hardware they sell. Figures just released show that Lenovo has risen from the bottom of the class (see quote box above) to the top of the class (see below).
Meanwhile, Apple has gone from second worst to worst, though their score remains the same.
1) Lenovo: 8
2) Nokia: 7.3
3=) Sony/Ericsson: 7
3=) Dell: 7
5=) Samsung: 6.3
5=) Motorola: 6.3
7) Fujitsu/Siemens: 6
8) Hewlett-Packard: 5.6
9) Acer: 5.3
10) Toshiba: 4.3
11) Sony: 4
12=) LG Electronics: 3.6
12=) Panasonic: 3.6
14) Apple: 2.7
