Besides, being green is usually mostly smoke and mirrors anyway. The electric car may not pur out emissions, but electricity is still mostly created by burning coal. The reason why people are so pumped about the electric car is because electricity is so cheap right now. But watch how expensive it gets to light a lightbulb when electricity producers start competing with gasoline companies.

RANT OVER

If they repeat it often enough do you suppose every one else will start parroting it like the old “Macs are easier” and “It just works” lines?

Would a Dell have a different “greenhouse gas emission” profile?

How about a phone that you CAN NOT OWN unless you also own a computer? Do they allocate the environmental impacts of the computer to the phone?

Its probably pretty easy to paint your self green when you don’t even own your own manufacturing facilities.

By foisting all of that off on China, and never actually MAKING anything themselves, a huge environmental impact is pushed off of Apples books.

They talk about how well their subcontractor’s employees are treated. Good death benefits I imagine.

Color me unimpressed.
