Apple vs HP vs Dell on carbon accounting (via Earth2tech)

For the first time Apple has now divulged its carbon footprint: 10.2 million tons of carbon emissions annually. That’s significantly larger than competitors HP (8.4 million tons) and Dell (471,000 tons). But Apple’s figure takes into account the carbon emitted when consumers use its products, as well as the carbon emissions from product manufacturing. Apple’s competitors don’t often take into account product use, or emissions from manufacturing.

Carbon accounting is hard. People can’t even figure out how many variables are in the equation.
