It's true that they don't have perfect environmental practices, and that's not good. However, Apple is doing a lot less damage than Dell, HP, etc, having less than 10% of the computer market. They're improving though (in both ways).

I'm surprised that Apple hasn't sued the makers of that site, they ripped off quite a bit of apple media..

Yes I agree greenpeace guys could overact sometimes... that's why I posted here, I also wonder if Apple really does more damage than Dell or what not?

As mentioned before they can't do more damage because they have significantly less market share. Also didn't apple reduce the packaging for the ipod mini? The reason they did that was 1)less harm to the evirononment and 2) it cost less to package because less material is being used.

I assume that if apple did this with the mini, they will also do it on other product packaging. I think their other products are pretty much packaged with just what they need though. So maybe the mini was the only thing that needed revisted in terms of packaging.

Oh come on, it makes more sense to talk about how environmental friendly a product by per machine!! We are talking about the quality of the product... or at least I would thought environmental friendliness being part of a product that makes up its quality.

I didn't get a Mac just for OSX, yes OSX is good per se, but what I liked is the hardware design, and its performance and everything is better than HP/Dell IMAO, and if it can be made better in terms of environmental, that's even better.

If you're going to fire up the propaganda machine, at least get it right. In the images which purportedly show Apple waste, they have the images shown on Apple displays, with nice Apple logos visible. However, that big stinking pile of crap in the background sure didn't come from any Apple machine.

Ummm you can tell that to those people who made the site if you want to.
