Get with the Program Steve Jobs


I admit that I am a big fan of Mac computers- their energy efficient design, easy to use style, artistic qualities, no Microsoft programs, etc, but they are slipping environmentally. They have been leaders in certain areas in the past, but recently they have been doing little to reduce toxic plastics and flame retardants in their products. Earlier this month Greenpeace named them the worst electronics manufacturer on environmental issues. This sparked some more protests at the NY Apple Store.

Greenpeace has a campaign called Green My Apple. The site has a wealth of information for taking action as well as some resources for turning activism into art. So please, if you are a Mac fan take action. Otherwise that new notebook I planned on buying this spring may be a *uhggh* Dell *cough*.
