Greenpeace just released a Toxic Report Card on the biggest companies in the tech industry. You might be surprised to find Apple near the bottom. Below is the full alert and a link to take action and send a message to the polluters. Best, Nick *********************************** TAKE ACTION! <http://usactions.greenpeace.org/action/start.php? action_id=118&ref_source=liststoxicreportcard> Technology makes our lives easier, right? But could it be cutting lives short too? We decided to put the biggest technology companies to the test, and the results may surprise you. That's because many of the world's leading manufacturers are producing electronics with toxic chemicals like polyvinyl chloride (PVC <http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/campaigns/toxics/go-pvc-free>) plastic and brominated flame retardants (BFRs). In this test, high levels of toxic chemicals in electronics products means more than a failing grade for the company, it represents serious health and environmental hazards to children in the developing world who take these products apart for scraps. And just think of the piles of outdated electronics piling up - don't you wonder which companies have a good recycling program? You may not like the answers we found. So guess who ranked at the bottom of the barrel? Apple. Along with Motorola, Acer, and Lenovo. Tell these toxic tech companies to clean up their act. TAKE ACTION! <http://usactions.greenpeace.org/action/start.php? action_id=118&ref_source=liststoxicreportcard> You've been instrumental in teaching a lesson to leading technology companies like HP and Dell, who have clearly paid attention. Now it's time to tell Apple to innovate, and catch up with PC leaders who've already started using alternatives and implementing recycling programs. And don't forget to see the full report card <http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/news/toxic-technology-report-card> and find out how your favorite gadgets ranked. Sincerely, Rick Hind Toxics Campaign Director p.s. Every quarter, we'll release a new report card on these companies until they graduate from our school of environmentally- friendly electronics.
