Great Student Action at Columbia U!!

| More

Hot off the presses (and computer screens) check out a very awesome Green My Apple student action at Columbia University:

Thursday, April 26-- A group of students at Columbia University led by Lauren Valle presented a 4 x 3 foot postcard addressed to Columbia Board of Trustee chair Bill Campbell. The postcard bears the names of 850 Columbia students who signed smaller postcards asking Mr. Campbell, who is also on Apple Inc.’s executive board, to make Apple to cut back on the toxic chemicals found in their products and improve their recycling programs.

Though Campbell was not in office when the students presented the very large postcard, Valle emphasized that the students will not "drop this issue until we get a response." Valle continued, "I understand they [the trustees] have a big agenda and I respect that, but we all have to step outside ourselves and look at some larger issues."

Read the story published in Columbia University's student newspaper (all one line, obviously): http://media.www.columbiaspectator.com/media/
