Ben Rowe points to another video by Greenpeace trying to get Apple to go Green.
As a long time Mac user I couldn't agree more. I love Apple's products and am disapointed that they aren't doing more on the environmental front. There is no reason why they can't be leaders in the conscious business arena.
From the Greenpeace website:
We love Apple. Apple knows more about "clean" design than anybody, right? So why do Macs, iPods, iBooks and the rest of their product range contain hazardous substances that other companies have abandoned? A cutting edge company shouldn't be cutting lives short by exposing children in China and India to dangerous chemicals. That's why we Apple fans need to demand a new, cool product: a greener Apple.
It's a clever campaign and as Ben says, It's positive protesting" as they are trying to work with the popularity of Apple, not against it. Take part in the campaign.

Thanks so much for posting about this.
I love my Macs, I really truly do.
But - this is a huge issue and one I had never come across before. Have to admit - I don't frequent Greenpeace's Web site much (have to make time choices you know?) and of course this never shows up in the Apple news that I do check.
I signed right up and will be posting about it myself and just wanted to say "thank you" for putting it out there.
