Environmentalists Strike Back Against Apple

By C.K. Sample, III

Oh, snap! It's on! After their original complaint,
and Jobs' reply, the environmentalist-to-Steve Jobs tennis match continues, this time with the environmentalists shooting a strong return shot to Jobs' comments from yesterday.  MacCentral
reports in detail about the group's nearly point by point counterargument to Jobs' comments yesterday.  For example, they point out that Jobs' defense that Apple recycled 1,500 tons of equipment last year doesn't measure up, as HP collected 5,000 tons in a short 6 week program.

On the other hand, according to the Kansas City Star, the leader of this group said they "picked the iPod to go after because it's the hippest thing around." Looks like this may be a continuing PR slug-fest in the weeks ahead.
