FROM EXPERIENCE -

“Jeff and I decided you are a psychic travel planning genius! We had the best time and you really seemed to understand exactly what we would like (even though we were not sure ourselves). In fact, we actually did not really understand the itinerary and never could find the first place on the map until we got there. We figured we would just trust you. Everything ran smoothly and we absolutely love Costa Rica. We cannot imagine how any amount of money could have made it better and we would be happy to send some pictures for your website. It would be great to go back and take our kids at some point.”

Green Gear Reviews - Apple MacBook

Ellen Barone brings you exclusive reviews of the coolest eco-friendly gear. Check back here regularly for Ellen's featured products.

An Apple A Day

We knew there was a reason - beyond it’s sleek design, LED–backlit display, and flat-out awesome performance - that the MacBook Pro was the Apple of our eye. Highly recyclable and energy efficient, the Mac Book Pro laptops are enviro-friendly.

Built with arsenic-free glass, BFR-free components, mercury-free LED displays, PVC-free cables and longer lasting batteries, the aluminum MacBook Pro notebooks scream green. But that isn’t the end of the company’s enviromental efforts. Apple even makes the packaging environmentally friendly by reducing the size and provides a no-cost way to properly recycle their old equipment – regardless of the manufacturer.

So, if you’re looking for an excuse to switch to Apple, a MacBook Pro is the way to go.
