Personally, I think Apple should do more to improve their eco-friendliness.

You would think a company run by a hippie would do more to help the environment...

I do agree Apple should make much more effort to be eco-friendly. Imagine how much waste they must create with all of those iPods. This is the responsibility of the consumer as well as companies, but Apple needs to make more of an effort.

Yeah, the conspiracy theory is that Apple refused to donate to Greenpeace so Greenpeace decided to attack Apple.

Personally, I find myself more inclined to buy Apple products now. If Apple sinks a Greenpeace boat, I'll buy a Mac Pro. :ninja:

According to the "Apple Inc." Wikipedia article, although Greenpeace hates Apple, the EPA says that it complies with all laws and is more eco-friendly than most of its competitors. I'm inclined to side with the EPA when it's between them and Greenpeace. Greenpeace members don't have as good hygiene as EPA members.

Also, has Greenpeace offered any suggestions on how Apple can be more eco-friendly other than taking PVC out of the MacBooks?

I don't believe in that theory. Greenpeace would a lot of what little support it has if it acted that way.

Also, you should promote attacking people who are just exercising their freedom of speech. That's very anti-American.

It may be anti-American, but I'm all for sinking Greenpeace boats whenever possible....

Heck, I'd even be good with strafing the survivors...

I wouldn't be as against Greenpeace if they acted more professional. I've had two professors who are members of Greenpeace and they're both aging hippies. I don't like hippies, they'll smoke pot all day, but if you light up a cigarette to relax after work, you have to hear about it. I have much more respect for the EPA, and they have much more respect for Apple than Greenpeace does.

Todd, I don't smoke a whole lot. I just have one or two when I relax on Friday nights with friends. They go really well with Guinness. The problem is that I have a hippie friend who likes to lecture me about how bad having one or two cigarettes a week is and he smokes pot every day.
