Is Apple's new iPad environmentally friend?

Well... they say it is.
A few years ago there were many controversy's over Apple products being shipped overseas and discarded in extremely hazardous ways.

The company is, "now in last place among the 14 largest electronics firms in committing to phase out harmful and toxic substances and instituting recycling programs of products that have reached the end of their lifecycles," according to Greenpeace in 2006.

Their most recent Macbook and iPad are supposed free of harmful toxins and will recycled safely within the United States alone... or so we hope.

Greenpeace even created their own blog over the concept GreenMyApple.org
Finally their products are being created without the harmful ingredients.
Way to go Apple, keep it up. This will keep us environmentally-minded folks still stoked on Apple's products.
