Palm Announces New Corporate Environment Philosophy

Treo Pro GrassAlong with the new green-ish Sprint Centro color comes news of a new "green" initiative from Palm. Officially entitled "Palm Environmental Stewardship", this effort has been hinted at in the high quality yet waste-free Treo Pro packaging that's vaguely Apple-esque in its simplicity and design. Palm has now posted a new page to the corporate section of their site highlighting their commitment to the environment using a variety of eco-friendly techniques such being RoHS-compliant since 2006.

The new Treo Pro is, unsurprisingly, the focal point of the new section's focus and it stands to reason that this is just the tip of the iceberg for a revamped corporate initiative in product packaging and aesthetics, as you can see in Ryan's unboxing and initial hands-on video preview from a few weeks ago.

In addition to the usual PR-type material, Palm has made available a pre-paid mailing label (.pdf link) for users to download so that they may ship old handhelds and smartphones back to Palm's affiliated partner Recellular Inc. for recycling.

"My SUV Beat Up Your Polar Bear"

This is of course nothing more than a marketing and publicity stunt by yet another corporation trying to navigate the climate change hysteria of our day. As anyone who has scraped a 1/2 layer below the surface can see, the entire "man-made global warming" theory is nothing more than a front of globalists seeking to tax and control the masses.

Oh boy, get ready to change gears. It looks like global COOLING is on the way. Whatever the case, rest assured that the State and International Elites will save us from it all for a small small price!

More reliable than the UN for sure ...

Fear not folks. After the elites gain a global warming revenue stream, then they'll switch to save us from a coming ice age. Palm, I hope your ready to change from Arctic White to White Hot on Nova devices!

Palm should spend more time on actually building their business than on these sorts of silly publicity stunts. This kind of thing is for companies who are on top and have nothing better to do than make everyone feel good about them. Palm needs to be working as hard as it can and staying focused.

It's great that any company is trying to go green, but making a public spectacle of it shows that they don't have their priorities straight.
