Searching google for — "In fiscal year 2006, HP recycled e-waste the equivalent weight of more than 600 jumbo airliners globally. By using alternative materials to build HP's personal computers, the metal saved over the past 18 months"
 
They pounded my site from four different severs in two countries within a few minutes:
U.S. - 15.219.153.73 (Hewlett-Packard Company)

India - 15.219.201.75
