Maybe Apple will get on the forefront of changing that, but Geeks don't often seem to care so much about the high cost of our environment for all the cool toys they get every year. Don't get me wrong, I love gadgets, too. I just keep hoping for a larger movement. Maybe this will be a start... I'm tired of eating fish full of mercury so that people can have new cell phones, computers, and other stuff every year!
