How could Al Gore let this happen?!: Apple Removes Green Electronics Certification From Products

Apple Removes Green EPEAT Electronics Certification From Products - The CIO Report - WSJ

Apple has pulled its products off the U.S. government-backed registration of environmentally friendly electronics.

Apple asked EPEAT, the electronics standards setting group, to pull its 39 certified desktop computers, monitors and laptops, which included past versions of the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, off the list of green products late last month, Robert Frisbee, CEO of EPEAT told CIO Journal. EPEAT, created through funding by the federal Environmental Protection Agency and manufacturers, awards products a seal to certify they are recyclable and designed to maximize energy efficiency and minimize environmental harm.
