Steve Jobs mad at Greenpeace Environmental Report

It appears that Steve Jobs is furious at Greenpeace environmental report on Apple Inc. According to Greenpeace, Apple Inc is not doing enough in eliminating toxic chemicals and ramping up recycling plans. So, the ultimate question from us the consumer point of view - is Apple doing enough?
From a neutral point of view, I couldn’t agree more with Steve Jobs, come to think of it, Apple did phase out CRT monitors which contain significant amounts of lead and not to mention CRT monitor consume 40 - 60% more electricity. In the December 2006 scorecard, Apple ranked lowest, with a rating of 2.7 out of a possible 10. Lenovo, HP and Dell rated 5.3, 5.7 and 7, respectively.
The scorecard from Greenpeace seems to be picking on Apple, another program from Apple is the “Recycling Plan”, where Jobs set a goal that called for Apple to recycle nearly 30% of its products, by weight, by 2010. Currently Apple is recycling 9.5% of its product they sold, which literally means they are very much well ahead of their competitors in helping the environment.
