The PC manufacturers had promised to eliminate vinyl plastic (PVC) and brominated flame retardants (BFRs) from their products by the end of 2009. Of the five PC market leaders, only Apple and Acer are sticking to their PVC and BFR phase-out commitments.

It's destination is the disintegrating Petermann Glacier, but to reach the glacier our ship must pass through the Nares Strait, which could be flooded with dangerous multi-year ice at any moment. A team of independent scientists have joined the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise as it sails to the northeast coast of Greenland at the start of a three month expedition to bear witness to the accelerating polar melt, which threatens to raise sea levels around the world by seven meters. The scientists will continue their work to better understand why the ice is melting so quickly.
