Roughlydrafted: Greenpeace lies?

The site Roughlydrafted posted an article about the Greenpeace reports we just mentioned in our preceding news item, which accused Apple to be the bad pupil of the computing world, as far as environment is concerned.
According to Roughlydrafted, Greenpeace in their communiqué voluntarily fustigated Apple on a biased way. Here are their main arguments:
- the communiqué is contradictory to the data obtained in the report the ecological association ordered.
- the most criticized tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBA), would not be carcinogenic the way it is used, that is to say insided of a computer, and isn't even one the product that were banned by the selective european RoHS directive.
- on the contrary, given its flame retarding effect, this product probably saved many lives, 280 a year in the United States according to a study.
The site's conclusion is that, while Greenpeace labs are quite good, transforming the reported information really isn't really a good ad for the association.
We don't have an opinion here, others will give theirs. Yet it is true that Apple has become a very appetizing company given its exposed situation. Any information about them get a very good visibility.
