The iPod, a study in non-repairable design, is apparently actually a good friend to the environment. According to apple, the iPod complies with the Californian and European Reduction of Hazardous Substances directives, meaning it doesn’t contain much nasty stuff like lead. Those iPod chargers are also Energy Star complaint and the iPod Nano is made of biodegradable starch and the fur of non-endangered field mice. So nice.
Apple also wants you to send them your old computer. From now on, when you buy a new Mac, they’ll offer you free return shipping and recycling for your old PC. In addition, according to the Sierra Club, Apple is a “Forward Green Leader,” which means it gets to fly with Luke during the final Death Star run.
