After the unveiling of the newest darling of Apple, the MacBook Air, it seems that it got people talking. Now, almost everyone who has heard of just what the laptop looks like wants a piece of it. At least one group is supporting it already, a group that has previously been notorious for branding other gadgets as evil.

Greenpeace, that highly-controversial environmentally conscious group, calls the new MacBook Air a “winner”. Well, it turns out the group has taken notive of Apple’s strategy of making it an environmental-friendly notebook. That is basically music to the ears of everyone involved in Greenpeace. Turns out, Greenpeace went on to observe Apple’s commitment made last year to phase out toxic chemicals Brominated Fire Retardants (BFRs) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) by the end of 2008.

Maybe, Greenpeace has finally succeeded in making manufacturers much more aware of making green products. Looks like the message is finally being pushed through.
