Above all else, Apple prides itself on having its finger on the pulse of what its customers want and need and immediately taking care of any customer service issue. True to form, Jobs himself has responded to Greenpeace regarding Apple’s environmental practices. You have to love a company who works so hard to make it’s loyal fans happy.

Apple could do better (and I'm a huge Apple fan.) OK, they comply with US EPA standards, but Greenpeace is applying the higher European standards plus some of their own which are hard to argue with: get rid of PVC so kids in Asia that cook circuit boards to recycle electronics don't get poisoned. Firemen here in the US have been campaiging against PVC for the same reason: it's not illegal, but that doesn't make it right. I want the best computer in the world to be the most earth-friendly computer in the world as well. What's wrong with that? I´ve read the Greenpeace material and I’m afraid they’re right.
