Greenpeace changes the rules to the game.

I’m all for protecting the environment and I’m certainly all for limiting the chemicals we throw out on a daily basis. Now, I’m not convinced that we’re past the tipping point, if there is one, but I don’t see the harm in trying to live a “greener” life. As a Mac user I was pretty stoked about Apple’s movement to make their products “greener.”

Well, it looks like Greenpeace updated the rules to the game, and Apple has slipped from a ranking of 6 to to a 4.1. I’m not sure how a company can drop that far in 8 months considering new product lines haven’t really been released, or old ones grossly revamped. Does anyone else feel like this might be a bit of a scam?

    I think that is the understatement of the year. “LOOK AT US! WE'RE TAKING DOWN THE EARTH-RUINING MAN, MAN!”

    They are in the same category as PETA. They take a concept that just about everyone can get behind (humane treatment, saving the Earth), and they turn it into something ugly that drives people away. They disgust me, honestly.
