Apple are Green - will the campaigners please shut up?
Every time I attend a Mac Expo, I get accosted by campaigners/activists from some “green” group or other who do their level best to convince anyone stupid enough to listen that Apple are single-handedly destroying the globe and that Steve Jobs is the devil himself. The reason for this has been as a result of Apple’s corporate policy of non-disclosure, not as a result of any damning evidence the greens have uncovered. But, since when have the facts ever got in the way of these people?
Apple have finally decided to bend their policy and provide information of the efforts to reduce the nasty chemicals used in their production process, and of course we see that they have not been destroying the globe at all. Apple’s green efforts, in keeping with all aspects of the company, are industry leading.
Perhaps the campaigners can now naff off and bug Dell customers.
