http://weblog.greenpeace.org/makingwaves/archives/2007/06/how_to_get_a_green_message_dir.html#more When Apple CEO Steve Jobs made his "A Greener Apple" statement he acknowledged that Apple fans expected more from Apple. We wanted to send him a permanent memento and reminder of the great work many Apple fans had sent us via our Green my Apple website. But Steve is obviously a busy man - how to get a suitable memento to him in an appropriate manner? Enter Goina, our resident Apple aficionado, with a great solution. Why not use Apple software (Aperture) to make a book of the best Green my Apple designs, comments and actions and use Apple's photo book feature to have Apple print and mail the Green my Apple book straight to Steve. A sweet solution indeed. Sometime today an Apple photo book box should be arriving at Steve's office with a stylish thank you and a reminder that his first statement was just a start to a "Greener Apple" and there's a lot of folks hoping he stays the course towards being a green leader. As Goina put it, "I would love to see Steve's face opening the box with the Apple logo outside and the greenmyapple designs inside". Check out Steve's book for yourself: http://a1854.g.akamai.net/7/1854/28570/v001/greenpeace.download.akamai.com/28570/gpi/green_my_apple/applebook/

3) And it was a success since Apple changed part of his policy last May publishing a "Greener Apple". The e-waste campaign is not closed yet, of course, and we keep working on Apple too, but after this update we wanted to send all the user generated designs that Apple fan sent us directly to Steve Jobs, the Apple CEO. And we thought it would have been nice to send them using the Apple service and software. The message is the same: "We love your products, but we want you to go Green".

2) I don't understand who could give money to GP for this campaign. Do you mean Apple? Greenpeace has run a campaign to change Apple environmental policy for 10 months, and Apple is not really happy about this. The campaign message is "I love my Apple, I just wish it came in Green". I think it's a really smart message that let Mac users be involved asking for a Green Apple.

1) Greenpeace does NOT accept donations from governments or corporations but relies on contributions from individual supporters.

I don't think needing money or funding is a good excuse for compromising your values...and image. There are other ways to get money beside selling out.

I hate that Greenpeace is into branding and consumerism now. Tho I love my Mac, I still wish that Greenpeace would remain pure and dedicated to the cause, not promote consumption.

How about instead of greening your apple build a pc from and old case and only the parts you need and then use the thousands of dollars you just saved to get the most efficient power supply you can get? This ad makes me think of all the umberassing enviromental videos you seee children under 8 make about recycling.
