iQuit: Apple Quits the Chamber of Commerce Over Its Backwards Position on Climate Change

The list of companies resigning from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce over its position on climate policy is growing. Today, Apple called it quits. In a letter immediately resigning Apple’s membership, the company's vice-president of worldwide government affairs said:

“Apple is committed to protecting the environment and the communities in which we operate around the world. We strongly object to the Chamber’s recent comments opposing the EPA’s effort to limit greenhouse gases.”

Last week, Exelon, PG&E and PNM Resources resigned from the Chamber and Nike resigned its position on the Board of Directors.

I applaud Apple and the other companies that have the guts to buck this group that would rather help keep it's members from having to clean up their wastes, than help their grandkid that they watch suck on their asthma inhaler at their soccer game!

Greed of money is an disgusting trait.
