Feature story - January 9, 2007
It was holy week in Apple land at the MacWorld Expo. But while we waited hopefully for Steve Jobs to announce better environmental practices, less toxic contents, and the greener apple we've all been dreaming of, all we got was a phone. OK, it's a totally cool phone, but still, it's a phone. We want an industrial revolution!
Getting to the Core
It's a new year, time for new beginnings... time for a fresh
green Apple. For years we have been asking for a greener Apple and
so we turned one green in San Francisco, just blocks from the
MacWorld expo.
As this year's MacWorld expo kicked off in San Francisco, we
wanted to show the participants what's really beneath the skin of
their favorite Apple products. Greenpeace activists projected giant
images of the Asian scrapyards where many electronic products -
including those made by Apple - end up at the end of their lives.
Images of electronics being melted down, taken apart and releasing
toxic chemicals were displayed above the front of the Apple
store.
New Beginnings
It's a new year and we are all making resolutions for a greener
2007. This week Steve Jobs will step into the limelight and
deliver his keynote address at the MacWorld expo. Call Steve Jobs right now and tell him this year,
you want a greener Apple!
