Greenpeace is taking Apple to task for not being green enough. Read this from their Apple mini-site:
We love Apple. Apple knows more about "clean" design than anybody, right? So why do Macs, iPods, iBooks and the rest of their product range contain hazardous substances that other companies have abandoned? A cutting edge company shouldn't be cutting lives short by exposing children in China and India to dangerous chemicals. That's why we Apple fans need to demand a new, cool product: a greener Apple.
On the pages with all the requisite children posing standing in front of heaps of garbage, being all impoverished and stuff...I saw one thing in particular that caught my attention:
It's the lettering, and the capitalization that made it stand out. There's a whole section devoted to this ProCreate campaign. Long-time Mac users and design professionals might remember another company that used that ProCreate. Look, a press release!
I wonder if Greenpeace has any campaign about trademark infringement?

What's the big deal? They're not plagiarizing, they're recycling! They'd be hypocrites if they went out and wreaked ecological havoc and came up with something NEW when they could just dust off and recycle/renew/reuse something that's already been made.
