People actually give a shit what Greenpeace has to say?
That is the real story here I think... if true ; )
Apple, which likes to tout its eco-credentials, has dropped to sixth place in the annual Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics, after allegedly failing to organise a take-back programme in India or set targets to reduce emissions by 2020. Apple does top the charts, along with HP, when it comes to its minimal use of conflict …
They are as bad as el reg when it comes to putting "Apple" into the title to get attention and hits.
Silly question, just how many machines do Apple sell in India anyway? (Is it really worth having a take back programme), and how do its actual emissions compare NOW (not some nebulous plan for 2020)?
It's sad that Greenpeace has changed from campaigning on important issues to maximising attention and financial contributions from guilt ridden middle class gadget buyers. Instead, how about a Greenpeace exposee of the building industry's use of PVC for example, which must be thousands of times greater than that of the electronics industry?
How the hell did HP get so high up? Don't forget this is a company which prides itself for shipping a single piece of paper with the license on it inside of boxes inside of boxes, repeat, which are finally packed securely inside of one of those containers they use to transport radioactive waste.
Idiots...
