Apple shareholders may be confronted by environmentalists concerned about electronic waste recycling at the company’s annual shareholder meeting this spring.
The Computer Take-Back Campaign (CTBC) has made Apple its “2005 Corporate Target” in an effort to get the computer manufacturer to change its “very old and outdated” policy regarding electronic waste recycling, says Gopal Dayaneni, a spokesperson for the Silicon Valley Toxic Coalition, which is one of several environmental groups promoting the CTBC.
“We have written to Apple requesting a meeting with their top officials to discuss environmental issues and their recycling policy,” Dayaneni told Spymac. “If they don’t respond to our request, we’re prepared to take it all the way..."Well, I hope Jobs and Apple's management board do something - and it's shocking that Apple hasn't yet, given one person in particular who is on that board.
But, as we all know, corporate america prefers easy money over responsibility. I ain't surprised.
