The detritus still has yet to settle , since Apple announced on Monday that it would no longer seek EPEAT certification for 39 of its computer model . Certainly , this newsworthiness is not bully . The idealistic situation would be for everything , everywhere , to be only greenish and environmentally well-disposed .
ButTech Radar reportsthat the City of San Francisco ’s Department of Environment has station letter “ to all 50 metropolis government agency , informing them that city funds can no longer be used to purchase Apple products”—and , to me , that seems a flake extreme .
Hear me out . There are plentitude of products that we use on a day-by-day base that a terrible for the environment . We could be more diligent about recycling and make a substantial remainder . Banning entire sector of a city ’s government from spending metropolis funds on new MacBooks is sort of a passive environmental statement . How about compulsory workplace - commute carpools ? Or veto city funds from being spend on bottled water ? Or permit only those tubeless tire toiletpaper axial rotation in metropolis government bureau bathrooms ? Or interdict all men and women employed by the city from using pilus atomizer . I ’m ( peradventure ) overdraw for event , here , but still . Are we overreacting , or not ?
