Environmental activist group, Greenpeace staged a protest outside tech giant, Apple’s head office in Cupertino yesterday. The protest was a call for Apple to start powering its data centers with greener energy, and to move away from coal. They did this is the strangest way possible – by live tweeting from a “pod” dropped outside their HQ.

Sitting in the “iPod”, as the activists referred to it, they used a projector to project messages and tweets onto Apple’s main facade. One protestor had the following to say about the protests:

This is an incredibly important issue for me personally. I use Apple products every day, just like millions of people around the world. I use my iPad every day in school, just like the one I’m using right now in this pod. It helps me in everything from taking notes, helping me to study for my tests (or even distracting me from class every once in a while.) My iPhone helps me connect with my friends.

Apple employees arriving for work in the morning were greeted by four protesters wearing iPhone costumes with giant screens displaying similar messages.

After security broke open the pod and chased the activists away, everything went back to normal.
