Green My Apple

Green Apple

I am a loyal Apple Computer user, ever since I made the switch a few years back. But unfortunately Apple recently got some pretty low scores when Greenpeace published its Green Electronics Guide, the ranking of how different companies stack up on the socially-responsible and enviromentally-friendly scale.

What was Greenpeace’s course of action after publishing these rankings? To tell everyone to boycott Apple Computers and buy from Dell instead, who ranked much higher on their list? Hardly. Greenpeace loves Apple just as much as I do!

Instead, they’ve set up a site explaining the details, like what kinds of toxic components Macs & iPods currently contain that they could easily do without. The site also shows you how you can urge Apple to make the change to a more “green” company. There’s even a simple form letter so you can write to Steve Jobs and tell him, “I want my Green Apple!”
