Next week, I'm pleased to welcome Collin Dunn from TreeHugger as our first guest blogger. This will all happen next week in San Francisco at Oracle OpenWorld 2007, where Michael Dell will be one of the keynotes on Wednesday. Collin will be there reporting for TreeHugger (and this won't be just about Dell). He'll post daily on what conference attendees are doing to draw attention to environmental protection and awareness. We hope this content will provide a broad look into what other companies and individuals are doing to address environmental concerns.

For those in attendance, be sure to drop by the Dell booth at the Eco-Innovation Gallery located at Moscone North, in the Upper Lobby. There you can interact with members of our team and share your environmentally-responsible thoughts and ideas in an unprecedented way. We'll also upload lots of video to Direct2Dell, with a focus on what attendees from across the world are doing to improve our shared Earth.
