Although Apple has worked to green their products (new mac book is pretty good), we've developed an app that can help green the iPhone from the inside. 3rdWhale Mobile helps users find green businesses near them in a range of categories - Food, Eco-Travel, Services, Transportation, Healing & Wellness, and Retail.

While Greenpeace might have been a pain in the ass as far as Apple was concerned, I think it ultimately works to Apple’s advantage to be considered the most green when people decide which computer, ipod, iphone or whatever device to purchase. Check out these links for more green info from our previous articles on the iPod, iPhone and green computing for the PC.

Your Temas Blog is an awesome environmental resource, lots to learn and see there. I particularly find your studies and photography of Latin American Landfills fascinating. You make a very good point about Cell phones increasing energy use. I also would be curious to see if there are studies or a book out on the sociology of cellphones.

I hope you return to The Temas Blog often, and leave comments. Dialog is what the blogosphere is all about, in my view. I can't take credit for most of the points in that post, however -- many came from "The Inspired Protagonist" blog, reprinted with their permission. They were responding to my analysis of Greenpeace's report on toxics in laptops. Interesting how the blogosphere loops around, isn't it? Your post is quite interesting, and I appreciate some of the links provided. I was particularly interested in the Ecologist article, rather thought-provoking. I would add an impact they didn't mention -- I think people probably make alot more errands and trips on the fly because cell phones obviate the need to plan ahead and allows people to change plans at the drop of a hat. Why is that bad, you ask? Well, it probably means people are driving more, with greatest energy consumption, vehicle emissions, traffic congestion, etc. Haven't seen any studies yet to show this is or isn't so, just something I have been wondering about alot lately.
