The new iMac is out and well every tech site has had a take on it. They will point you to the Apple iMac page and tell you about all the bells and whistles on this beauty. However something struck me while Steve Jobs strutted on stage in his designer blue jeans and black shirt, ‘is the new iMac green?’ Now Apple has gotten a lot of heat being placed bottom on the list of green tech companies and building products that are based on some of the most recycled material out there makes me wonder if this isn’t Apple’s take on recycling. Now I couldn’t find anywhere on there site that mentioned beer bottles or soda can’s being the previous incarnation of your MacBook Pro or your new iMac. This of course would have to be investigated abroad where the machines are usually made, in plants that may not have caught on to this green and recycle approach. The truth is it would just be Apple enough to Recycle and not tell since I’m sure some rumor site will be posting all the details about this soon enough. However since glass and aluminum are two very popular recycled materials, next time you clean up the tin cans and beer bottles from your party just think of how many iMacs you could make! Till then cheers.
I want the new imac so bad! You think if I go to the apple store with a shopping cart full of coke cans they’ll give me discount?

You’ll need some glass bottles too. I was just in the apple store and all the employees are now wearing green shirts. I think there going over board on Apple going Green. I remember getting a green box for a mac once, and on the bottom of the box it said “Made in Ireland.”
Green shirts? really? I haven’t been to the apple store lately, just went to Micro Center to check out the new iMac. It’s good that they’re doing this for the environment but they should keep it subtle. The way this planet is at the moment, it’s not like they’re changing much.
