GREENPEACE APOLOGIZES TO APPLE

Hey check this out
Apparently the report that Greenpeace put together cost $50,000 and unequivocally proves that their original slander against Apple being and environmental laggard was totally unfounded.
Despite this, it looks like Greenpeace is continuing to dig at Apple on the content of non-banned TBBPA in an internal fan assembly. But even their own report (page 11) says that they only managed to find 'trace' amounts. In fact the amounts are so low that you could quadruple the quantity of TBBPA that Greenpeace found and still be legally within a European definition of a banned substance.

The European Commission also recently published this report in June saying that there are no detrimental effects associated with the flame retardant TBBPA.

As a long term contributor to Greenpeace campaigns, should I be concerned about the way Greenpeace is spending my money. There are far too many important, pressing toxic issues out there for Greenpeace to be spending our money on the wrong campaign!!!
Answers please????
