Apple's web site has a new section entitled "Apple and the Environment," which includes some interesting figures, including the company's total carbon footprint: 10.2 million metric tons. Apple is unique in the industry by including the carbon output of its customers actually using their products. According to Apple, 53% of that 10.2 million metric ton number is due to actual product usage. Individual product reports are also available, with information including power consumption and the types of materials used in each product."
