ha!
i was actually looking at a 17" toshiba at some point recently...
though, i know you're being facetious, keep in mind, those ratings are for a company, not for a model, or branch (tvs / computers / etc) of a company. so, as an example, buying a toshiba laptop could be on par with buying a macbook - but maybe buying a toshiba television / flat panel monitor may be more "green" than buying an apple one. or just by simply supporting toshiba, you'd be supporting a company with greener factories or practices.
compare that to vehicles...
if i buy a toyota prius, i may save some fuel and contribute less to my local carbon footprint and reliance on foreign oil.
but, if i buy a standard honda civic, i'd get almost as good milage, a very clean running engine, and it could be that honda has a cleaner factory than toyota. and of course there's no extra nickel being mined for a few hunderd pounds of battery strapped to the bottom of the car.
and if i buy a subaru impreza, i'm getting worse fuel economy for sure, but i can rest assured that the factory it came from is zero landfill, and actually contributes in a positive way to the environment of the region it resides in.
and of course, if i stick with an old used car a new car does not have to be created for me, saving a great amount of 'carbon footprint'
