I'm pretty sure the rep Apple has on labor and environmental issues is highly unfair. Greenpeace actually admitted targeting Apple because it's better PR, one of the main 'journalists' accusing Apple of child labor was actually caught in a web lof lies(http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/460/r...).

I don't mean to single out Apple except to the extent that these sorts of events don't lend themselves to honestly discussing the huge environmental impact of the disposable electronics Apple and others produces. I'm willing to believe they're better than most other companies in this regard, but that doesn't mean much when there is almost zero accountability in this area.
