Greening the Macbook
Apple is making a concerted effort to lower the carbon footprint of its new Macbooks:
How green is the new Macbook?
It’s been rightly stated before that the greenest product is the one you already own. This graph illustrates the basic fact that most of a consumer product’s energy consumption occurs during the manufacturing process. I maintain that there’s not a green product in the world that will solve our energy crisis, though I’m still a sucker for green porn — especially when it’s of the Apple variety. At the end of the day, I’m still a fanboy I guess.

while these numbers are pretty interesting, i have a really hard time imagining that only 10% of my macbook’s emissions come from shipping it to TN from California or China or wherever it’s assembled. I guess it is, but hard to believe.
