Propelled by Greenpeace, iPush asks Apple to make materials and production as "clean" as their fun, popular designs.
Right now, poison Apples full of chemicals (like toxic flame retardants, and polyvinyl chloride) are being sold worldwide. When they're tossed, they usually end up at the fingertips of children in China, India and other developing-world countries. They dismantle them for parts, and are exposed to a dangerous toxic cocktail that threatens their health and the environment.
iPush asks you to personally get involved and even offers a slew of suggestions on how to help.

I'm all about protecting nature people from the bad created by products but if the alternative where not so expensive ..most companies would use safer product if it was cheap... ...but attacking apple is a waste of time there are so small..they only have 2 % of the market of computer ..green people should focus on the 98% of the problem there are the leaders..
here are the choices
more expensive green products less sales
or less expensive bad products more sales hmmm....what should I do..?
Anyone else getting tired of the Greenpeace campaign? I sure am.
Gaa! Please stop believing these people!

Yea, I'm getting sick of the Greenpeace campaign too. I mean, global warming isn't really going to affect the planet too much until after I'm dead, so why should I care.
Come on George, green thinking needs to be at the front of everyone's mind - anyone that does something to highlight deserves a lot of respect.
It is sad to me that people care so little for the planet.
Even though Apple is small they should lead as they are the industry innovator. Who knows maybe this will help them to increase market share.
please, get the whole picture...read the link provided by george, where greenpeace apologizes for their inaccurate and misleading report.
