New Ipod nano gets eco-friendly
Greenpeace finally managed to move Apple to make a more environment friendly products. Their “Green my Apple” campaign finally succeeds. The new IPOD Nano finally gets “green”.
Ipod Nano Environmental Checklist:
-Arsenic-free glass
-BFR-free
-Mercury-free
-PVC-free
-Highly Recyclable
“Greenpeace congratulates Apple for phasing out harmful chemicals like PVC and BFRs in its new, much greener iPods. But we know that Jobs and his team can go even further, and truly take a lead in greening the electronics industry”, said Casey Harrell, Greenpeace international campaigner.
“We hope that this is only a teaser of what is to come, and that we will see more of the same with all future product announcements, from iPhones to Macs.”
Harrell also said that the company will continue to watch Apple’s launches with interest:
“What we’d really like for Christmas is to see Apple remove toxic chemicals from all its products, and announce a free, global recycling scheme. Now, that would make a very tasty green Apple indeed!”
I admit I’m not such a huge fan of overpriced Apple products, but I will consider getting one as soon as their laptop line gets “green”.
