Lately, it seems as though everyone is infatuated with being “green.” But what specifically defines ‘being green’; does it mean more economical? More nature friendly? Less pollutant and hazardous to the environment? With all this recent commotion and the efforts towards this cause, it seems that almost all large corporations have diverted their attention towards this new movement, not because they care about the environment, but because they want to shine in the public’s eyes and grasp the attention of the certain group of people who are only interested in purchasing the products of an environmentally friendly company.
Apple Corporations newly developed laptops are now green. They have found a way to carve out almost the entire laptop from a single block of titanium–making it more sturdy and reliable. However, along with their efforts to develop this new means of creating their laptop, they have discovered that it not only completely recyclable, but it now runs on a fourth of the power of it’s predecessor, and is created without many of the harmful toxins that many computers are made from (like mercury). Has apple sold their soul to the ‘green cause’ or are they simply attempting to grasp the group of people who are interested in aiding the environment. With fewer activists on their tail, apple could better concentrate on persuading the public of the holiness of their products.
Corporations also have not been the most honest, reliable and upstanding entities; they have lied, cheated and made aggressive actions under a cloak to get whatever they want. What if the facts that apple is stating is out of context? What if the Mac books are entirely recyclable, however, the process of creating the LCD screen, carving the titanium block, and even recycling the Mac book is not the most economically friendly process that we presumed from the commercial. What if… we were shown all of the information out of context…and nothing is what it seems.
