Apple dead last on the environment again.
what do you "eco" conscious fashion whores care about people in the 3rd world anyway. most eco conscious people are just nimby's.
Apple has been accused by a coalition of 36 Chinese environmental groups of ignoring hazardous and unhealthy conditions at the factories in China where its components are assembled.
Released yesterday by the Institute of Environmental and Public Affairs (IPE), the report "The Other Side of Apple" ranked the iPhone maker dead last among 29 other tech companies for their responsiveness to health and environmental concerns in China.

You're so conscious!
If you were talking to 8th grade me I would find you truly enlightening.
-
apple fan boy i bet.

Next you're going to blow my mind by telling me that celebrating Columbus Day is morally questionable.

I wouldn't necessarily demonize the company for the country's failure to regulate. Why aren't you decrying any of the other companies that utilize China's labor force and commit gross environmental destruction in China?
Or did you just read an article and felt like posting a quick quip about it? Congrats for reading an article. You've really made a difference in the world by being snarky. It's funny, you mock the "fashion whores" for their false environmentalism while you sit at home, with your Chinese made computer which I'm sure you did not purchase based on the company's environmentalist attitude, and all you do is promote your own false-environmentalist agenda.
People like you think that they're better than everyone else because they call out other people for their hypocrisies. But I'm sure if someone focused on you and analyzed the products that you buy, that you would be just as guilty as those that you mock.

lol @ you generalizing about people who work for NGOs
this topic is brilliant. it allows you to combine your mindless stereotypes about first world people with that of apple owners.
-
apple fan boys who fit the stereotype shouldn't be pretending not to be true.
-
you do know that china per capita is still very low on the pollution end vs western countries.
-
generalizations and strawmen, par for the course with you.

Well remember this is the guy who says "Africans are better off here than in Africa" and that Africans call American Black people whiteboy and that Africans sold each other into slavery. So what do you really expect?
I wonder how environmentally friendly windows computers are? I also wonder if he is not simply hating because he cannot afford a mac. Sent from my ipad!
