I think this product is a perfect demosntratino of just how facile the whole ecological movement has become. In the 50s and 60s it was about cleaning up the mess. When that was done, it was about preserving the rainforests (which seems to have worked in some places and failed in others, but at least it was tried). Then the 90s came along and people didn't btoerh saving forests; they shat on them, whilst undermining their roots, and pretended they were 'protecting the environment'. Swampy and his ilk did more damage to the world than any megalomaniac corporation. Now the very idea of being 'green' has been commercialised and exploited by the very people that the green movement used to say they were against.
Now me, I'm all for coating laptops in bamboo, mahogany, crocodile skin, human skin, kitten hearts or whatever as long as there's no pretence about motivation and a market for it (and assuming anyone would actually buy a kitten-heart encased laptop). I can't stand is this phony feel-good wankery. If you're going to coat your laptop in panda food, don't pretend you're doing it to save the environment, or to appeal to the environmentalist lifestyle, because it makes you look stupid.

So much for that then.
