It isn't often the techno-geek world and the primary focus of my environmental chemistry site collide in a way that people here might be interested in, but Selkirk was kind enough to put me on one such collision. A month ago, Greenpeace came out with a report on how the fourteen top computer companies ranked for environmental responsibility (http://www.greenpeace.org/international/press/reports/guide-to-greener-electronics). To everyone's surprise (including some at Greenpeace) Apple Computers came out on bottom. Well today Selkirk pointed me to Steve Jobs' response to Greenpeace's report (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/agreenerapple/). This in turn gave me one of those rare opportunities to honestly blog about the stuff you guys do on a daily basis and still be on topic (normally the closest I get to electronics in my blog are compact florescent lights). Being able to blog about a little skirmish between Greenpeace, Apple and Steve Jobs in one post might almost seem like a dream come true (hmm Apple vs. Greenpeace is that political or religious? :confused: )
Anyways, for those who are interested, you can read my blog post: Apple gets trashed in Greenpeace report card and comes back fighting (http://blog.environmentalchemistry.com/2007/05/apple-gets-trashed-in-green-peace.html)
Okay I'll admit it, I titled it to get the attention of Apple fanboys and Greenpeace tree huggers. You know we all have to occasionally stoop to the sensationalist headlines. :p
