Some of the leading manufacturers of popular brands in the United States and elsewhere in the world today are Mitsubishi, VestFrost, GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, Bosch, Miele, LG, Samsung, hewlett-packard, and IBM. I've looked at these companies to give you a sense of where they have been, some of their past environmental misdeeds, and where they are headed, so you can make a decision that works for your values and sensibilities. Some of them, like Maytag and Whirlpool, with poor pollution records from only a few years ago, are taking important steps to stop being toxic.

Although hewlett-packard, the nation's leading manufacturer of high-end printers, servers, and other computer equipment, has a ten-acre Superfund site in Palo Alto, Santa Clara County, California, that was contaminated with a number of chemical toxins such as 1,1,1-trichloroethane, toluene, and xylene, the company seems, in some ways, to have redeemed itself with a very clean record for its Boise, Idaho, manufacturing plant, which ranks in the top 10 percent for cleanest facilities for overall releases (and in the top 20 to 30 percent for releasing the least amount of developmental toxins).

In 2006, hewlett-packard introduced a digital camera with three settings to make people look thinner than they really are. "You'll trim down to a new you, instantly," said one advertisement. People keep deceiving themselves, and they rationalize each extra helping of food, their nonstop snacking, their tight-fitting clothes, and how their bellies ache after they pig out. The more people snack and overeat, the more food they want, and the worse their blood sugar and weight become.

Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts

I once visited the hewlett-packard offices in Greeley and, upon opening the car door in the HP parking lot, I was nearly floored by the enormous stench wafting through the air. I asked an HP employee, "What on Earth is that smell?" He replied, "It's the cattle slaughter houses. You're smelling cow blood." Here's a (shortened) description of Greeley, as printed in Fast Food Nation: You can smell Greeley, Colorado, long before you can see it The smell is hard to forget but not easy to describe, a combination of live animals, manure, and dead animals being rendered into dog food.

These days, hewlett-packard (HP) makes well-considered, easily disassembled hardware that just keeps getting better. In the meantime, the company is working at getting back all the older machines that languish unused in people's homes, each containing a wealth of heavy metals difficult to recover. The fact that take-back laws don't apply throughout the United States hasn't stopped HP from recognizing that people will pay to have their old computer peripherals recycled.

Microsoft and hewlett-packard are among the companies already writing software to help manage this kind of abundant information. Done right, such tools would make it possible to never again forget a face, a name, or an important bit of information. Many of us would see this as a serious loss of privacy, with enormous legal implications regarding liability, self-incrimination, even intellectual property. But it could also serve the cause of truth.

Kirkwood, the director of government affairs at hewlett-packard, is another true believer. He told Impact: "We had an epiphany ... in the NAFTA effort. For the first time, we went to a widespread grassroots program that involved employees throughout the country. My sense is that we will use that as a part of our regular arsenal. . . . The environmental movement will be upset, labor will be troubled. Everyone hasn't tooled up yet, but they will.

Ray Woosley had told me that he was consulting on a project with hewlett-packard in which they were inventing a machine that would take a drop or two of your blood and in as little as five or ten minutes, automatically subdivide and test it for sensitivity to medicines by screening various genetic markers that might affect pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. (The GeneArray scanner would come on the market in 1997 at a price of $92,683.) Spielberg did admit that some current methods of predicting, say, liver toxicity, were ridiculously expensive and "won't work anyway.
