Veronica Belmont totally is a very pretty young woman though.

Oh, also Greenpeace needs to just stop acting like they're some sort of superior being the rest of the world, what's the point of living and enjoying life if you have these radicals like Greenpeace and PETA telling you all the shit you can't do.

Dioxide would be O2. O2 is what you breath in. You can't ban something we need to survive. Last time I checked not even the global warming theorists thought O2 was bad.]]>Jan 18th 2008 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/huh-greenpeace-calls-the-macbook-air-a-winner/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/huh-greenpeace-calls-the-macbook-air-a-winner/
Later they find out that burning PVC creates dioxin. The latch onto that as an excuse to ban PVC. Of course this is still bad science because proper burning creates little to no dioxin. It is the improper burning at low temperatures and not enough oxygen that causes the dioxin to be created.

More info incinerating PVC here:
http://lists.essential.org/1996/dioxin-l/msg00207.html

My favorite line is the last one "the ban on PVC or
the omitting of PVC in waste to incinerators or a ban on the whole chlorine
industry as 'the' dioxine source is simply scientific nonsense"]]>Jan 18th 2008 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/huh-greenpeace-calls-the-macbook-air-a-winner/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/huh-greenpeace-calls-the-macbook-air-a-winner/
If not then go do some research and find out what PVC is made from, then find out what happens to it at the end of its life. Give it a rating yourself for how sustainable it is.

There is no reason Apple cant make the case for this laptop out of biodegradable plastic made from PLA, and if you dont know what that is research it. Of course this would cut into Apples massive profits.

Also any computer that you cant upgrade is not green, if the parts are not user replaceable it uses more energy to get someone else to fit them, if you want to know why, research it.

Please in future, dont make comments about something you know nothing about, or with out referring to someone that does know what they are talking about.

Not Dioxide, Dioxin

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioxin
C+P: "Because of their extreme importance as environmental pollutants, current scientific literature uses the name dioxins commonly for simplification to denote the chlorinated derivatives of dibenzo-p-dioxin, more precisely the polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs). The polychlorinated dibenzodioxins, which can also be classified in the family of halogenated organic compounds, have been shown to bioaccumulate in humans and wildlife due to their lipophilic properties, and are known teratogens, mutagens, and carcinogens."]]>Jan 18th 2008 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/huh-greenpeace-calls-the-macbook-air-a-winner/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/18/huh-greenpeace-calls-the-macbook-air-a-winner/
