As opposed to all the other manufacturers who build their toys in China
with underpaid and overworked labor, but who don't get a bad image
because they're not Apple, right?

At least Apple, unlike many of those other companies, is addressing
those labor issues.  But that doesn't count because it's Apple,right?

Did it ever occur to you that Apple's is doing those green endeavors
because they're the right thing to do?

How about because they're the right things to do for the sake of the
planet and the human race?
