Thus spoke a knee-jerk cynic.
But I agree, these aren't exactly my cup of tea, either, but that's the nature of art (or the art of nature). I use my own nature photography for the purpose.
Here's the thing about photos of beautiful countryside... It's harder and harder to find unspoiled countryside to photograph (take it from someone who's been at it for nearly 50 years). As Joni Mitchell wrote, so many years ago, "They paved paradise, put up a parking lot..."
I, too, say enough with climate change. It should stop, immediately!
(OK, climate would change even if nature was left to its own devices. The trouble is that we're doing so much to help the process along, to make it more extreme. And not because we sat down and said, "We want it this way." We make a mess and we rarely clean it up, and we rarely find ways to go about our business without making a mess in the first place.)
Sure, Apple is an industrial company. Like nearly every human endeavor, it creates waste and either directly or indirectly impacts the life forms and inanimate features of this planet in destructive ways. What makes Apple unusual among industrial companies is that it recognizes the impact it makes, and goes beyond the mandates of law to find ways to mitigate its negative impact. It's not focused solely on, "How can we improve the next quarterly income report," but is giving thought to the long term. Some may feel it's stupid to do so. "The lord gave us dominion over the earth," "Life is short! As long as mine is good, who cares?" "Apres nous, le deluge!" That last, of course, may have been more prophetic than Pompadour intended.
