  • There are amazing technologies, showing their heads, Hydro-power, new forms of Solar-Power, and new types of batteries including Solid states. I will love to see one battery to be able to capture lighting. 

  • I know that there are new technologies, but is not helping the people that needed, the people with low income. 

  • I want a Lenovo laptop that has good engineering, quality performance, good looks and a good price. Thinking of all the computers that I have owned since 1989, I really have no idea where those ended up once they died. I have seen the stories of young boys in Africa picking through piles of computer junk looking for precious metals. I am concerned for recycling the plastics and the metals. As for carbon footprint and carbon offset, there are many very large assumptions going into that discussion. Claudia here is steeped in that theory.

  • WOW!  VERY INTERESTING TO HEAR CLAUDIA TALK ABOUT LENOVO'S SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS AND ITS POSITIVE IMPACT ON US.

  • Think that everyone can reduce their carbon footprint by 10 to as high as 30% without changing their lifestyle.   Unless everyone does what they can, we'll never reduce CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
