apple

Based on information available on Apple's website (1), it seems the company known for innovation has missed an opportunity to reinvent its new 3G iPhone in green.

I like this story because it gives you the skinny on electronic companies and their recycling policies. Plus it is kind of fun to read too.

A $20 million investment in G24 Innovations could send smartphones that don't need recharging down the pipe in as little as three years.

I’m a bit of an electronic junkie. I’m always interested in hearing about the new, cool, gadgets on the market, and then when you add a “green” aspect into the design, I dig, dig, dig it! When I saw Vers 2x’s iPod speaker system, I fell for it hard.

Opinion, with puns! ... "Apple Computers is giving us working proof that environmentalism fails in the face of business. If a company produces things made of solar power, we think that’s green, as in environmentally-friendly, right? But if that company attempts to patent this technology, therefore not wishing to share/spread/encourage all competition to do the same.........."

A patent application suggests that Apple is working out a way of powering portable devices with the sun using the touchscreen as the conduit.

So .... who, in the electronics industry, is at the forefront in fighting climate change and who is sadly ignorant to the fact that everything is hotting up around them. Maybe we should all think twice and take things like this into consideration before making that next electronics purchase.

Green sells, whether the product in question is a hybrid car or a laptop computer. Tech firms know this, but they also face growing scepticism as a result of the the deluge of greenwash we are all being subjected to.

Bit of a dig here about Apple's trendy new laptop and why Apple might not be as good for the environment as hety would like us ot believe they are now.

"Apple is not a leader on a greener market, it's just catching up, making small careful steps where giant ones are needed and projecting the small ones on a big screen to make them look bigger than they really are..."

Many people suffer from digestive problems and spend a lot of money on various forms of relief to varying effect. Personally I don’t believe in “IBS” (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) It wasn’t around when I was a kid. I think IBS refers to a number of digestive problems - from bad diet, to bad food combining, to parasites.

In this post I will begin addressing the issue of combining food.

I wanted to recommend this article as a follow up on Apple's mercury-free computer. It seems like when a company appears to be making progress there's always a step back. Unfortunately, it seems to be Al Gore — ?! — is helping to slow such progress. It's baffling to me. Would love some feedback on this.

Greenpeace is salivating over the MacBook Air and what it means: "Apple is getting greener, you can almost taste it" is the title of a Greenpeace blog.

Apple is making a stronger commitment to the environment, as evident in the unveiling of it's latest laptop, which is the first computer to be mercury free. It also boasts arsenic-free glass and lead-free circuit boards, among other features. Apple has been on the environmentally conscious path since 1990 from their product designs to responsible manufacturing. According to the website, Apple plans to eradicate the use of PVC, BFRs and arsenic in its products by the end of 2008.

Despite Apple's notorious GREENWASHING campaign, the fact remains that the IPOD is one of the worst scourges to the environment in recent memory--Story of Stuff's expose covers that well and good. What about Gore's involvement? (No, not that oil stock ownership scandal...)

A study among PC brands the study lists “Apple's customer base [as] the greenest, with 17% of its customers in the bright green category”. Is this the same Apple that was slammed by Greenpeace for its lack of responsible green policies, resulting in Steve Jobs coming out with a statement vowing to clean up their act, only to receive another rebuke months later for not sticking to what they promised?
