Yes I'm in the same boat!! My OCD forces me to clean install any new OS, and start a new iPhone without a backup!

It will run on 100% renewable energy and they will replant the trees
When all I do is sit on the couch I tend to eat badCall me a skeptic, but won't this create more CO2 than just sitting on the couch?
Which causes me to flatulate.
The added methane can't be great for the environment
So true. The watch even has a workout setting that will grant you all the calories burned that you could ever want, plus the exercise points all while you sleep or drive which ever activity you wish to set it for before you begin such task. Those two rings can easily be filled in under an hour by doing this and of course, the stand ring takes 12 hrs to complete.
Actually. You're helping his point.
Your computer is 11 years old. That's a testament to how things were done over a decade ago
Unfortunately it's now 2017. Apple computers are NOT THE SAME AS THEY WERE THEN,
Apple very much is in the business of having you replace hardware on whole frequently now. They are prime motivators of the disposable throw away consumer culture. Almost all of apples current offerings are meant to be used for ~5 years.
It's great that Apple is aiming for 100% recycled parts. But there are still problems with carbon and energy footprints. Recycling isn't free from those. There's energy and environmental concerns with it too.
There's a reason why recycle is 3rd in the list of "reduce, reuse, recycle" mantra, because it's the worst of the 3. But reducing consumer purchasing, and having consumers reuse parts on their own is bad for business,

There are so many options in the workout app now. He could just use outdoor walk or "other" and name it after the workout.
I'm curious... how did you get the completed badge already? I did my workout today but the badge doesn't show as achieved yet.
I know at least the last part of your post was a joke but to be clear for skim readers they are actually green

According to Apple Support, OTHER activities do not count against the badge. Something I only found out after my 90minute of weight training did not earn me a badge. Thanks Apple.
I rode my bike 21 miles and did not get the badge even though I recorded the ride as Outdoor Cycle on my watch. My husband rode his bike for 46 minutes and recorded it as Outdoor Cycle on his watch. He did not get the badge either. My sister went shopping and set her watch to Indoor Walk for 30 minutes and she received the badge. So I decided to clean my house and set my watch for Indoor Walk for 30 minutes while I did a brisk cleaning. I immediately received the badge.
I do not understand why the badge still did not show up for an Outdoor bike ride. My husband never did get the Earth Day badge yet he closed all 3 activity rings and recorded a 46 minute Outdoor bike ride with the watch.

You are right. Their hardware lasts long enough as it is, that there is NO further environmental benefit to be gained. Let's just call it a day, guys.
/sarcasm.
I got the badge... I used indoor walk and turned it on while I was at the mall for a couple of hours just to see if it would work. Apparently it did.
