Dell invited LadyDragon to see their new products at the Montreal National Home Show

LadyDragon was invited to see Dell's new products at the Montreal National Home Show where Dell showcase their new products like the Inspiron series, XPS series, Alienware, and their new Crystal monitor.

LadyDragon spoke with Dell's National Director Michel Lagace. Dell was at the Montreal Home Show for the second year. The presence of Dell at the Montreal Home Show last year was so succesful that Dell decided to come back again.

M. Lagace started by explaining Dell's policies to LadyDragon. Not only they have top of the line insurances when you buy a Dell computer like replacing and reparing it, they also recycle your old Dell computers because they care about the environment.

On June 28, 2006 Dell announced their plan to provide free recycling of any Dell-branded product for consumers around the world as part of its new global recycling policy.

"We have a responsibility to our customers to recycle the products we make and sell," said Michael Dell, chairman of Dell. "Our direct relationships with consumers allow us to offer this easy and free service and we encourage others in our industry to do so as well."

Dell currently offers consumers no-charge recycling of any brand of used computer or printer with the purchase of a new Dell computer or printer. This service includes home pick-up of the used computer at no charge.

Under its new policy, Dell will provide consumers with no-charge recycling of any Dell-branded product, regardless of whether a replacement product is purchased. The company plans to launch the service in the U.S. by September, and globally by November. It is currently available in Canada and Europe. Dell has been focused on developing market-driven consumer recycling services for several years.

"Dell is setting the standard for the industry with this new policy," said Kate Krebs, executive director of the National Recycling Coalition. "Recycling of used consumer electronics remains a challenge and Dell is taking concrete steps to remove the barriers of cost and inconvenience for consumers."

Today Dell offers product recovery services to business and institutional customers in most of its major markets including Europe and North America. The company expands product recovery services on a country-by-country basis as its business grows. Dell's Asset Recovery Services, offered to business and institutional customers, provides reverse logistics, value recovery and reporting.

Information about Dell's Canada consumer recycling offer and Asset Recovery Services is available at www.dell.ca/recycling and Dell's new global recycling policy can be viewed at www.dell.com/environment

But the best part is that they have is a program called " Plant a Tree for me"

Dell first launched the program in January 2007 to provide customers the opportunity to plant trees to offset the CO2 emissions related to the use of their computer systems. We partner with the Conservation Fund and Carbonfund.org for this project. As previously announced, 100 percent of donations received by Dell go toward tree-planting efforts.

Our success in addressing climate change, energy depletion and other global challenges ultimately depends on our ability to empower and inspire the ReGeneration, people of all ages who care about the environment,” said Tod Arbogast, director of sustainable business at Dell. “Programs like ‘Plant a Tree for Me’ provide a simple and tangible way to make a difference.”

And now Dell’s ‘Plant a Tree for Me’ Program Goes Retail with samsclub.com

RED products was also showed so that visitors could learn more about Dell's RED Program

(RED) was created by Bono and Bobby Shriver, Chairman of DATA to raise awareness and money for The Global Fund by teaming up with the world's most iconic brands to produce (PRODUCT)RED branded products. A percentage of each (PRODUCT)RED product sold is given to The Global Fund. The money helps women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.

What's the meaning of the parentheses or brackets? Well, we call them "the embrace." Each company that becomes (RED) places its logo in this embrace and is then elevated to the power of red. Thus the name -- (PRODUCT)RED.
