Steve Jobs today layed out his plans on how he’ll make our Earth that little bit greener. Basically it all revolves around switching over to LED displays.
We plan to introduce.. LED backlight technology in 2007… Apple plans to reduce and eventually eliminate the use of mercury by transitioning to LED backlighting for all displays when technically and economically feasible.
Steve also goes on to slam rivals.
Apple completely eliminated the use of CRTs in mid-2006. A note of comparison - Dell, Gateway, Hewlett Packard and Lenovo still ship CRT displays today.
Who knew a hippie could be so tough - kick it Steve! It’s enough to make us go hug a tree and turn veggie.
