the apple falls far from the tree

Very far according to an assesment by a company called CLIMATE COUNTS, CLICK HERE, a not for profit organisation dedicated to fighting Climate Change. They survey all major American companies annually to assess their contribution towards the climate change solution and environmental awareness. Overall the Tech industry ranked the best of all US industries.
To give you an idea of how they all fared IBM was the best with a score of 77 out of a possible 100, APPLE SCORED a MEASLEY 11. I am ashamed to be writing my post on a Mac to be honest. The problem they had is described as follows from this article CLICK HERE or
Its a LOT poor that a company of this size didn't put effort into completing the form, i hope with the bad press they make more effort next year.
Our old friends Google won their category but, on a score of 55, has a lot more work to do , and NIKE won overall with a score of 82. Can't wait until someone scores 100.

Apple, which has come under fire for the use of toxic materials, scored at the bottom of the electronics sector list with an 11.
According to its individual scorecard, Apple's ranking was hurt by incomplete reporting and because it hasn't set goals to reduce its own or its partners' greenhouse gases

I found this info really interesting, thanks for the links.
and McDonalds seems to have a LONG way to go in their fight on Climate Change! Even the beer companies were doing better.... so there you have the prrof - it`s better to booze it up than eat fast food, all in the name of climate change WOOO HOOO!
