holidayappl ‘Tis the season, and stockings are being stuffed with ipods, and Macs nestled under the tree. But not all is well in Whoville, and there’s a grinch of a surprise inside these Apple gifts: toxic chemicals. And as last year’s gifts are tossed to make way for shiny new Apples, they will likely find their way to developing countries, where children of all ages will unwrap and unleash the toxic chemicals within.

Well, there’s no place like New York to light up the night with a holiday wish. We’ve been telling Apple to go green for years, and tonight, more than 60 activists took to the streets of New York to shine green lights on Apple’s iconic 5th Avenue store. Now it’s your turn to shine a green spotlight on Apple.

Send Apple a special holiday card and tell Steve Jobs that all you wish for is a green Apple.

TAKE ACTION NOW!

Don’t let us have all the fun! Spread even more holiday cheer to Apple’s little helpers. Pick up the phone right now!

If you want a green Apple, all you have to do is ask for it. And be sure to pass this along to your friends and family too – just add it to your holiday wish list!

  • CARLAGIRL PHOTO was founded on 14 February 1999 by Carla Willliams, a photographer, writer, and editor, born, raised and heading back to (yea!) Los Angeles, California.

    It was established with two goals: to be able to make my own work widely available for free, and to make accessible my research about artists of the African Diaspora, especially photographers, and in particular women. As it developed it grew to also include GLBTQ artists.

    • Mambu Badu’s Inaugural Magazine February 8, 2012
      Danielle was briefly a contributor to this site; I am very excited to hear about her latest venture, the collective and now journal Mambu Badu “that seek to find, expose, and nurture emerging female photographers of African descent.”  Congrats, Danielle! As you may (or may not) know, last fall, I co-founded Mambu Badu, a photography collective […]


  • "Dedicated to the real photographers of the world—to those who, with their second-hand equipment and their makeshift darkrooms, are today fighting their solitary battles with their recalcitrant medium, not for money or for glory, but because they would rather make pictures than anything else in the world." - William Mortensen
