Here’s a call to action you don’t often see. It’s not about a non-green company and asking the company to clean up its act, but it’s about thanking an electronics giant,\u00a0Hewlett-Packard (HP),\u00a0for being a green leader.<\/p>\n

ClimateCounts.org Green Watching campaign is\u00a0teaming up with DoSomething.org\u2019s Green Your School Challenge this week to get teens across the\u00a0country to say “Thank You” to HP for its\u00a0continuous climate action.<\/p>\n

HP was at the top of Climate Count’s electronics scorecard, getting 85 out of 100 points, this year. It has given strong support to comprehensive federal action on climate change that “would\u00a0lead to market-wide reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and the growth of renewable energy\u00a0capacity,” Climate Counts reports.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cHaving worked with HP for a number of years we were thrilled to see them as the #1 Climate\u00a0Counts electronics company and the second highest scoring company overall,”\u00a0said Melanie\u00a0Stevenson of DoSomething.org.\u00a0“We were equally\u00a0as thrilled that the Climate Counts Green Watching campaign provides young people with a\u00a0free app<\/a> and website<\/a> to send messages directly to HP thanking them for their current climate\u00a0work and encouraging HP to continue raising the bar on corporate climate action.”<\/p>\n

The electronics companies Climate Counts scored<\/strong> this year have over 2.3 million employees worldwide and brought in over $822 billion in revenue in 2010. That’s “more money than the entire U.S.\u00a0economic stimulus package of 2009.” It’s important where it goes and what it’s used for.<\/p>\n

Luckily, a lot of electronics company are pushing for environmental awareness and action, but none as much as HP according to Climate Counts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe electronics sector is by far our most competitive sector and HP is leading the way. The\u00a0Green Watching campaign helps consumers see the difference between green leaders and\u00a0greenwashers and gives consumers the tools to tell companies climate action matters,\u201d said Mark\u00a0Harrison, Climate Counts campaign coordinator.<\/p>\n

To join\u00a0ClimateCounts.org, DoSomething.org, and numerous non-profits in thanking HP for its green efforts, send the company emails and tweets from the Climate Counts\u00a0website<\/a> or free app<\/a>.<\/p>\n
