Best New Partnership

Texas Campaign for the Environment and Dell

Relationships are hard work. But with compromise and understanding of your partner's concerns, you can work it out. Texas Campaign for the Environment and Dell started as adversaries of sorts, with TCE pressuring Dell to increase recycling of electronic waste. But Dell insisted it really cared about the environment, and when Round Rock's personal computer market leader put its money where its mouth is, protest turned into pats on the back from activists. TCE is still pushing for more, but at least Venus knows that Mars is actually listening.
