Jobs Responds to Greenpeace FUD

EccentricAnomaly writes "Steve Jobs has posted a response on the Apple homepage to the Greenpeace Green My Apple campaign in which he basically makes a case for the Greenpeace campaign being a heaping pile of FUD. On one hand, you could say that Greenpeace shouldn't expect a company that has spent years battling Microsoft to just roll over. On the other, it looks like Apple is agreeing to do most of what Greenpeace has been demanding."

    Apple has already generously moved manufacturing to other countries so the poorest of people could have jobs. If Green Peace really cared about the people of the world they'd buy TWO iPods so the poor people could get twice the wages.

    That giving GP a lot of credit for a higher concept. I've yet to met a GP member whom's greatest understandings are the varieties of, and methods of using, Mary Jane.

    Hm... it was on the news that Al Gore's annual electricity bill was about $30,000. Mine is around $500. Does that not mean that Al Gore, at least looking at electricity usage, is worse for the environment than I am?

    I think he also flies a lot more than me. And that car in the movie he's riding around in looks a lot bigger than mine.

    Not trying to troll, just saying that I value human life above that of animals. If I had to choose between an entire species going extinct or saving the life of a 65 year old dude, I'd choose saving the human.

    Once every single person on the planet lives a comfortable life with easy access to food and water, we can start trying to improve the comfort of animals who we breed to slaughter to make hot dogs. Delicious hot dogs.
