Know of any digital nomads out there that could use a new Studio 15 laptop?
Dell and Brighter Planet, a non-profit organization that funds top-notch renewable energy projects, have teamed up for Earth Week to power earthtweet, a platform that uses the 
#earthtweet tag to aggregate tweets about what people are doing to celebrate Earth Day. The site is live now and has been collecting tweets from all over the world about tips and suggestions that everybody can employ to lower their impact on the planet.
Starting on April 15, Dell and Brighter Planet will be asking the world for tweets specific to green IT. This can run the gamut from energy efficiency to materials use to a million other things I’ve never even considered. The tweeter who submits the best green IT tip will receive a Energy Star certified Dell Studio 15 laptop (in the Spring green color no less!).
Participation is easy. Submit a tip from your Twitter account, and be sure to add the #earthtweet hashtag. That tag will route all tweets to the earthtweet site where they can be viewed by everyone. A couple of days after April 22, which is Earth Day, all green IT tweets will be reviewed and the winner announced. Done and done.
By nature, digital nomads are a savvy bunch, at the cutting edge of mobility and technology. Coupled with an understanding about the huge role green IT can play in saving the planet (as well as save you money), I expect to see some very enlightened and creative tweets from this group.
Official rules for the contest can be viewed here.
Happy Earth Week, and see you on earthtweet!
