Ever the vigilant follow-up-ers, to update you on Greenpeace’s Green Electronic Guide, they have issued the first quarterly update on the tech industry’s performance on environmental issues.

While GP recognizes that many companies are improving, Apple does not appear to be among them. They remain mired in last place. Much like the Oakland Raiders. Ba dum bump.

According to MacWorld…

“We were surprised they were in last place again,” Zeina Alhajj, campaign coordinator for Greenpeace, told Macworld. “We are hoping that by the next ranking they will be the biggest mover.” The report ranks the 14 top manufacturers of personal computers and cell phones. Most companies, according to Greenpeace, now score above average points on the ranking guide, with only five companies failing to score even the average of five points. No company has yet to receive better than a 7 out of 10 rating. Apple’s rating is listed at 2.7, according to Alhajj. Factors affecting the company’s score include its policies for chemicals, not taking responsibility for its waste and not being clear on the chemicals they want to ban like other companies are doing, said Alhajj.
