Green Peace has dissed on Apple for years now. A once decent organization has pretty much turned into an attention grabbing whiner. Every time they diss Apple, they get a bunch of press - and that seems to be their only goal these days.

I wonder how "Green" Greenpeace is. I bet most of their members drive huge humvees all the way to their second job at the local nuclear power plant, while at the same time leaving all their standby lights on in their house.

and they blatently boil more water than they actually need when they put the kettle on.

pair that with the fact that they almost definitely don't have a personal wind turbine or solar panel, so they are paying generic power companies to pollute the air anyway.

lets see how hypocritical they are.

The ironic part? If all companies would be perfect in Greenpeace's eyes, they would be out of business.

No, they consider themselves a "police force" of some kind and it's their job (self appointed btw) to make sure you follow the rules they agree with. Wouldn't change at all.
