Greenpeace Greens Apple Store San Francisco

Clean the air? It is possible. Clean water? It is possible too.
Clean energy? It is possible as well.
My idea is very difficult for understanding. It is not difficult for engineer - mechanic, who knows very good the Pascal's law and even-arm lever.

The reason Greenpeace does not target HP and Dell is because these companies have already made plans for phasing out the harmful toxins used in their computers. Which proves a second point-- that asking for a reduction in Apple's toxins is both plausible and important. Apple just happens to be the biggest computer company that refuses to even talk to Greenpeace about its toxins, while most other companies not only talked to them, but set up phase out plans. I don't get how this doesn't make sense to you.

YOu should be happy that there is someone in the world trying to hold these companies accountable for their actions. It is in-action and blind consumerism that is wrong and harmful in the world, not the good natured activists in Greenpeace that just want to see good changes effected in the world.

Furthermore, as a consumer it is necessary to realize that what you buy is both made and disposed of in other countries, usually third world countries. It is the children and poor people there making next to nother an hour who take these computers apart in scrap yards who then pay the price of exposure to what those things are made with. Just because you look at a green light shone on a white apple and don't see the relevance it has to the world doesn't mean there isn't one. Do a bit of research before publishing your views.

I was there before they set up and snapped a bunch of pictures if
anyone is interested. Enjoy!

At first the picture made me think of the green ipod nanos, then got my hopes up for an announcement of a return to the multicolored macs of years past. Then after reading the article I find is some nuts that had have a generator cranked to power that thing, most likely making noise pollution like mad whining about toxic Apple computers, when they're all toxic, cripes I'd bet even the projector they had contains toxic parts, now I'm disappointed.

The EPA gave Apple a really good rating. Now, they did not get full marks, so I agree that there is room for improvement on Apple's part, but I think Greenpeace's rating system must be flawed if they only got 2/10. If Apple is getting 2/10, what are HP and Dell getting?

Whenever I go to pick up a package from UPS, every other box coming out has a Dell logo on it. I'd imagine that a lot more of those end up on landfill sites than Apple machines. Apple's products last a long time. I only bought a new laptop because mine got stolen. Otherwise I'd still be using my G4 now.

Also (And sorry for the double-post, but I just visited the Web site), does anyone think the splash on that Web site sounds.... dirty?

Or is it just my oversexed, 18-25 male mind diving toward the gutter again?

That's a good point about the projector. It probably is less "green" than a Mac.

Also, it really does look like Apple is on Greenpeace's good graces. Their basically surrounding the logo with green. Who wouldn't think "Greenpeace likes apple."

Stupid hippies

To borrow from Archie Bunker, aw geez, here we go again.

Was Greenpeace's protest on CNN? No. Why? Because they are idiots with a protest based on flawed data and flimsy research. They are a bunch of clowns who waste everyone's time, effort and money.

If Greenpeace really wants to be taken seriously, don't protest a company that was recently cleared by the EPA, has a long history of working to be more eco-friendly.

Greenpeace has been asleep at the wheel for years. Instead of paying attention to the nutcases that are Greenpeace or PETA, look to groups like the Nature Conservency or the SPCA. These groups haven't lost focus.

I love the one comment about Macs in Africa and that's a great point. I agree. I've seen more PCs put out to pasture than Macs.

Greenpeace has no cred left, and trying to hitch the wagon to Apple for publicity sake won't help matters at all.

Thanks Greenpeace. You just made made me want to buy an Apple. I'm on my way to the Apple store right now.
