I read somewhere that container ships' fuels are the dirtiest of all fuels used everywhere, which made buying electronics really non-green (since they're all come in ships from the other side of the globe). Anyone here knows how accurate this is?

The fuel statement is accurate see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_oil

It's quite unpleasant stuff but you have to remember to factor in just how much stuff its moving across the planet.
