All the other members will benefit because of lingering questions of Nike's ethics regarding the use of alleged overseas sweatshops in grim factories. A few years ago Nike was ranked by a British poll as the second worst in ethics. Apple has been criticized by GreenPeace for its environmental practices. It appears that the old public relations trick of diverting attention from ones own problems to someone else is being rolled out.

What rock do you live under? I'm amazed you're literate enough to read this site. Kudos to Apple for NOT being a lemming and taking some proactive action. Good grief. What rock do you live under?

They used to be cutting edge, don't follow the lemmings, kind of a company. This global warming thing is pseudo-science of the worst sort. Just because the media reports only one side (which has the fewest scientists backing it), doesn't mean it is correct. There are plenty of other reasons to pull out of chambers of commerce other than phony global warming. I’m disappointed in Apple.
