After just about 5 days, 60 events and more than 500 photo petitions asking Steve Jobs to create a totally green Apple, the Green My Apple Week of Action is coming to a close.
The Week of Action has shown Steve that students across the US support our campaign to make a truly green Apple, and that whatever small environmental improvements he might choose to make in the upcoming weeks will not be enough. The Green My Apple photos are a stunning visual display of green grassroots power! I’ve put a few below, but check them all out at http://www.flickr.com/groups/greenmyapple/

Also exciting is our Apple Skull-pture that is making the rounds in California’s Silicon Valley (where Apple is headquartered and where many Apple employees live). The Skull-pture made an appearance at a San Jose Giants game a little less than a week ago. Metroactive, Silicon Valley’s weekly newspaper, took notice:


Skull and Groans
San Jose Giants fans got more than a double header this past Sunday. They were greeted at Municipal Stadium's gate by Greenpeace activists and a giant electronic skull and bones made from thousands of pieces of junked Apple products. Greenpeace kicked off its Toxic Tech Tour at the game, handing out literature and answering questions about E-waste while the massive skull's computer monitors played videos of children working on Mount Everest-size global trash heaps in developing countries like Africa and China where these discards are sent. During the game, fans watched faux Apple ads from the stadium's JumboTron and were asked to urge Apple to go green. Ashby Marshall, Greenpeace organizer, says they'll be touring Silicon Valley until Apple's annual shareholders meeting in May, where they hope Apple CEO Steve Jobs will announce new eco-policies. Greenpeace asked Apple's board of directors to pass resolutions removing the most toxic substances from its products and to offer free take back everywhere Apple products are sold. But our question is: since when did minor league baseball go all Al Gore? "When we asked if we could come to the game," says Marshall, "the San Jose Giants said 'yes' right away and offered us their JumboTron. This campaign is very positive. We love our Macs and Ipods. We just wish they were greener. We're still saving whales, but we're looking at E-waste because it's massive and it's a hazard that's impacting the entire world."
