It is designed with the following features to reduce environmental impact:<br \/>\nArsenic-free display glass<br \/>\nBFR-free<br \/>\nMercury-free LCD display<br \/>\nPVC-free<br \/>\nRecyclable aluminum and glass enclosure<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mnn.com\/earth-matters\/wilderness-resources\/blogs\/apples-ipad-tablet-computer-stocked-with-greener-features\">Shea Gunther at Mother Nature Network<\/a> explains:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Apple has taken some lumps in the past, particularly from groups like Greenpeace, for using toxic substances like mercury and arsenic in their products. With e-waste being as big a problem as it is considering the huge number of products Apple and other tech companies produce every year, the decision to stop using these poisonous chemicals is a big one. The iPad (and nearly ever other electronic device) have a LONG way to go before they can truly be called green, but they&#8217;re getting greener and greener every go around.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/earth2tech.com\/2010\/01\/27\/how-green-is-the-apple-ipad-b\/\">earth2tech<\/a> gave the new iPad a grade of B, and during the iPad&#8217;s announcement, Steve Jobs was sure to tout it&#8217;s green features.   According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.infoworld.com\/d\/green-it\/ipad-typically-apple-green-983\">Infoworld<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Another green bragging point: Apple claims that the device&#8217;s specially designed lithium-polymer battery, combined with the energy efficiency of the iPad&#8217;s A4 processor, means the system can run for 10 hours straight.<\/p>\n<p>The iPad&#8217;s form factor also contributes to its green credentials. It weighs a mere 1.5 pounds and is half an inch thick. Compare that to the bulkier devices it rivals &#8212; say, a netbook &#8212; and you can see the iPad contains fewer materials. Moreover, unlike a netbook, a keyboard isn&#8217;t a necessity for the iPad, which means you won&#8217;t have to invest in yet another hunk of plastic, metal, or the like. (That&#8217;s not to say the iPad doesn&#8217;t support a keyboard.)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Being the first to own the latest technology is definitely not green living, but at least consumers are faced more environmentally friendly options when making new purchases.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/yp1wMwzs4rcBx-jV-fFCTHnJ4b0\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/yp1wMwzs4rcBx-jV-fFCTHnJ4b0\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/yp1wMwzs4rcBx-jV-fFCTHnJ4b0\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/yp1wMwzs4rcBx-jV-fFCTHnJ4b0\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are big Mac fans here at Blogpire, and much of the environmental blog world has been a buzz asking the important question: How green is the new Apple iPad? iPad embodies Apple&#8217;s continuing environmental progress.
