Walmart and HP working together to go green?

I knew that Walmart was working on different green initiatives, but I had no idea they'd established this challenge. They challenged electronic manufacturers to produce a product that would reduce environmental impact.

HP stepped up to the challenge by createing a product that reduced packaging materials by 97%.

Instead of shipping the product in bags, cushion and boxes, they place the computer along with all of its parts, unwrapped in a stylish computer bag that is placed directly on WalMart shelves.

Bravo HP!
