“(NaturalNews) As a company, Apple has become a household name in such a way that one would be hard-pressed to find many people in the Western world who aren’t at least somewhat familiar with the words “ipod” and “iphone”. However, what you might not know is that Apple has found a place at the bottom of a list compiled by Greenpeace detailing the least environmentally green technology companies. Apple has earned its place on the list due to its “dirty data” practices, as their energy centers use a highly polluting coalpowerat the sites that are home to their servers instead of finding more ecologically friendly alternatives. Most recently, Apple’s new North Carolina facility is being powered by Duke Energy using a mixture ofcoal(62%) and nuclear power (32%).
In this day and agepeopleare becoming more socially and environmentally conscious. No longer are they happy to sit idly by, blissfully unaware of how thecompaniesthey support do business. As author of the list and IT policy analyst forGreenpeace, Gary Cook stated that “consumers want to know that when they upload a video to Youtube or change their Facebook status that they’re not contributing to global warming or future Fukushima’s.”

These stupid bastards will cause mass damage one of these days. Mark my words.
more importantly do the 4 year old chinese children assembling my iphone give a fuck?
