 | Dear Daniel Stafford, Apple is a company that claims to "Think Different."
Today, we're asking you to join us in calling on Apple to "Act Different," and put an end to using highly dangerous chemicals to matufacture its smartphones and other consumer electronics.
Tell Apple to Act Different »
We're launching our campaign "Bad Apple: End Smartphone Sweatshops" together with the release of film-maker Heather White's new short documentary "Who Pays the Price?: The Human Cost of Electronics." Together, this film, and your messages now to Apple headquarters will draw attention to unsafe working conditions in Apple supplier factories in China.
Just how bad is the problem?
Consider that 75 percent of the world's population owns a cell phone, and that roughly half of these are made in China, where workers often do not receive training for handling toxic substances or adequate protective gear. Exposure to the dangerous chemicals used in smartphone manufacturing can lead to cancer, leukemia, nerve damage, and more.
Visit our campaign site for details on the problems with smartphone sweatshops, to view the film "Who Pays the Price?," and to see a slide-show telling one worker's true story of working at an Apple supplier factory.
Then send a message to Apple TODAY
demanding they stop using dangerous chemicals in their factories »
Thanks so much for all you do, 
Elizabeth O'Connell,
Campaigns Director
Green America
P.S. Your donation powers our all of our green-economy work, including our new Bad Apple campaign, our GMO Inside program, our fossil-free investing campaign, our Fair Trade work, and more. Thank you for your support.
