There's been some negative press lately for Apple Corp. regarding its environmental record, with Greenpeace picketing Apple events, and some email campaigns making the rounds. From what I can tell, it seems like Apple still has a way to go, but at worst it is on par with other Computer manufacturers, and given market share, a company like Dell is having a far greater negative impact. Apple does make its case, though. Perhaps this additional attention, and the presence of Al Gore on the BOT of Apple will help as well.
A couple of thoughts: Macs and ipods seem to have a long life. I believe data shows that Macs tend to be usable for a longer period than PCs (check out www.lowendmac.com), and become hand-me-downs. Also, Apple seems to have decent trade in policy (not that I would know, I have a de-facto Mac museum in the works).
Any ideas from my fellow Mac Lovers?
Greenpeace off the Mark
