Apple Products and the Environment.. Do They Go Hand in Hand?


Maspeth, NY 718-416-1656 


It seems as if Apple, one of the nation’s leaders in technology, is expanding every year. Every couple of months, Apple releases new products that blow consumers away.

Earlier this week, Apple seemed to be mentioned a lot on various blogs on the internet after the company made the decision to no long be a part of a company called EPEAT which is an environmental certification program for electronics.

Apple has reported that it doesn’t mean that their future products won’t be constructed without keeping the environment and environmental standards in mind.

Kristen Huguet, spokeswomen for Apple reported to CNN stating, "Apple takes a comprehensive approach to measuring our environmental impact and all of our products meet the strictest energy efficiency standards backed by the U.S. government, Energy Star 5.2. We also lead the industry by reporting each product's greenhouse gas emissions on our website, and Apple products are superior in other important environmental areas not measured by EPEAT, such as removal of toxic materials."

What do you think about the decision that Apple has made? Do you own any of their products? Let us know on our Facebook page linked HERE
