It’s true. I like Granny Smith green apples best. But those aren’t the kind of apples I’m talking about. I’m referring to the company that brought us one of the two greatest inventions of the 21st century - the iPod. (Tivo is the other, for those who are wondering)
Greenpeace recently released their Green Electronics Guide and ranked Apple last among the leading mobile and PC manufacturers in the world. Rankings were based on global policies, how the companies eliminate harmful chemicals and what they do with their products after customers discard them.
With the surge in Apple’s popularity and customer loyalty, it is important that they take responsibility for their actions. But what can we do? The folks at Green My Apple are leading the charge. To date, over 45,000 Mac users have told Steve Jobs to go green. You can too.

According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, polar bears are losing their homes and their lives to global warming.
“Over the past three decades, more than a million square miles of sea ice — an area the size of Norway, Denmark and Sweden combined — have disappeared. Scientists predict that 80 percent of the summer sea ice that polar bears depend on for survival could be gone in 20 years, and all of it by 2040. As a result, the world’s polar bears could face global extinction by the end of this century.”
