Greenpeace is dead set on giving Apple and Steve Jobs an unfavorable position coordination compound . With one hand , the environmental grouppatted Apple on the headafter the first appearance of itsredesigned MacBook aluminum notebooks . With the other hand , however , it managed to knock Apple down a rowlock or two for still not doing enough to save the environment . “ compare to where Apple was before Tuesday , its laptop are in spades good . That in and of itself is a good thing . But not all toxic pieces have been eliminated yet , ” say Casey Harrell , Greenpeace International ’s toxics campaigner . If Apple were a person , we imagine this is the full stop where he or she would run away , or go goth at the very least , because they ’d “ never be secure enough ” for Greenpeace . What would have really had Greenpeace all hot and bothered last Tuesday was if Apple had become the first trafficker to herald a laptop without polyvinyl chloride ( PVC ) or brominated fire retardation ( BFR ) materials . These two chemicals have a filthy habit of liberate their toxic badness when they ’re burned during disposal overseas . “ They fell slightly short of that destination , ” Harrell said . “ They did n’t quite get the PVCs out of the international ability cord . If Apple can achieve that , then we could unequivocally say that they ’ve put the rest of the computer industry on notice that these textile can be completely eliminated . ” Apple , for its part , reply to the criticism this hebdomad with a hushed press release , which was no doubt drowned , beaten and leave thanks to the circus in Cupertino Tuesday morning . disregardless , the tone ending pledged that Apple will completely pass all PVC and BFR part by the closing of this year . If Apple can manage that , Harrell said , then it would give Greenpeace greater leverage against other computer manufacturer ( e.g. Dell , Lenovo and HP ) . In other newsworthiness , Greenpeace also hatesthe iPhone , theMacBook Air , and puppies that poop too much . But , itloves Apple for the headlinesthat its intersection garner for Greenpeace , so go figure . [ Yahoo News ]
