Business Week On Why Environmental Groups Go After Apple Computers So Much

Ever wonder why Greenpeace has these wacky attacks on Apple claiming that its computers are so environmentally unfriendly? I have. Their computers are no different than any other ones, but Greenpeace keeps going after Apple.

It's clear why Greenpeace picks on Apple so incessantly: The unique place that Apple and its chief executive officer, Steve Jobs occupy within popular culture and the technology industry make them both convenient whipping boys for publicity-hungry environmental organizations. Calling out Apple over environmental issues simply gets more headlines than criticizing HP would. . . . .

On the even more depressing side, "Mac users are more likely to care about global warming, deforestation, and other environmental issues than your average Windows user."
