Greenpeace just thrives on the media it gets by slandering other companies' efforts. Although it's understood in the industry that Greenpeace's standards are rather unattainable, the big companies (tech especially) still try and live up to their standards.

But the goals I was refering to are the ones Sir Steve set for Apple himself in May 2007. In a statement posted on Apple's website, Job's stated that Apple would improve its environmental record by removing toxic chemicals by the end of 2008 and boosting recycling by 2010. Thus, he has set these goal for Apple himself, and will most likely be reemed by Greenpeace if these goals are not met. Wonderful point Dave.

Second, no company will ever meet Greenpeace's goals, as every business has a negative impact on the environment in some way, and historically, Greenpeace has shifted the goalposts every single time companies have made any progress. Greenpeace's endgame is for everyone to live in mud huts and tilling the soil for our own food using hand tools we made ourselves.
