The stunt , further confirm that Apple has very little left of its flower child rebel bandana spirit leave behind , is now in Greenpeace ’s crosshairs over its power policy . Apple is using ember tycoon because it ’s tinny . But it ’s hard to defend this when you have enough cash on bridge player to buy all the coal in the macrocosm and plough it into a elephantine diamond lid . Plus , it ’s just not very nice to the planet ! Greenpeace argues Apple can do better :
