Of course not, they say made in Vietnam. They are a waste and not attractive either. Although at least the plastic bag says made with recycled materials.

Apple Employees to Celebrate Earth Day With Green Shirts Starting April 20

In honor of Earth Day, which takes place on Saturday, April 22, Apple employees will transition from their standard blue shirts to green Earth Day shirts starting on Thursday, April 20.
Apple also celebrates Earth Day by updating the logos on its retail stores around the world, adding a green leaf accent to the traditional white Apple. Earth Day represents one of the few days a year Apple alters its logo.
Apple often uses Earth Day as a way to highlight its environmental efforts and reaffirm its commitment to recycling, renewable energy, and other initiatives. According to a recent interview with Apple's VP of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives Lisa Jackson, 96 percent of the energy Apple uses around the world now comes from renewable sources like wind and solar.
Last year, Apple released a host of earth-inspired Apple Music playlists, launched a "Siri and Liam" ad outlining its recycling practices, and launched an "Apps for Earth" promotion, with proceeds donated to the World Wildlife Fund. Similar promotions could take place this year, with announcements coming this week ahead of April 22.

Let's create more crap to help the earth. What a big pile of dongle.
Gotta virtue signal to your hippie base.
I remember that show.
Maybe it's a store in Asia? And in what universe would that make a difference?
So, the company who's logo should be in the dictionary next to "Planned Obsolescence" and has such brilliant environmental strategies as gluing glass to aluminum (rendering both unrecyclable) is going to show their love for environmentalism by buying all their retail staff green shirts to wear for 10 days before the shirts too will be victims of planned obsolescence.
How about helping the environment by not making people replace a perfectly good display (that should last 10 years) every time they want to update their computer (typically every 3-5 years).

ROFL...stop getting your propaganda from Timmy.
Apple is an environmental disaster to the core of Timmy's evil little soul. A few green power plants do not make up for devices designed to be in the landfill in 2-3 years when they're still perfectly good. 2 years for a cell phone to be obsolete makes great business sense but considering the environmental impact, it's just evil.

Sure looks good... for a celebration of a day founded by a murderer. But ignore that. They retouched the photos and got him written out of the history. Now it is propagated by a group that would love to get rid of 9/10ths of humanity (aside from themselves) to "save the planet".
As a liberal I don't consider Tim Cook one of my kin. Sure, he's openly gay, but he's also a tax-evading, resource-wasting, child-labor-abusing capitalist hog. He's not liberal at all but he puts on this act because he knows his target market of artists and lower to middle-classers buy Apple because of its conceived hip, liberal-ness.
We can criticize Apple for engaging in the same corporate PC-love-cause marketing that every other electronic Maker does, but the truth is that we are all part of the problem piling up in landfills and oceans... I'm sure guilty of contributing to this 
it's way more then one
Definitely more then ten.
I'm not sure where y'all getting these numbers from or maybe you're just randomly pulling it out of the a** but as far as I know they give two, maybe three of these shirts tops. And they change between the standard blue (year round), the green (for about a month+) and the red (2+ months).
That's three max per color, and three color changes in a year...so that's NINE shirts total. Most employees wear their old teeshirts around the house or give them to roommates to wear or sell them online. So it's not a complete waste...and if y'all complaining about this being a "waste" compared to some of the other practices I've seen (e.g. Gap sending a 12-16" box filled with a handful of accessories) I don't have anything further to say...
Post Jobs, its less about the Tech and more about values. Lets be honest, Cook is not a Product visionary, so he is playing to his strengths of getting profits and positioning Apple as a beacon of moral values. Jobs was Visionary with eye on profits.
If they end up in a landfill then you probably were the one that put them there. You can also choose to recycle them at an Apple Store for free or at your city's recycling center.

He inherited the company the way it was and he's doing a much better job at changing things than his predecessors.
Actually, more companies should follow in Apple's footsteps with their environmental standards that they use for their product line and how they ultimately reduce/recycle their products.
Also, You seem to be shorting yourself with what Apple does with iPhones that are no longer in use or service. Research Project Liam and you will have a more understanding of what they do and how they recycle their iPhones.
Good idea. Product Green alongside product Red. One if for the environment, the other for medical research.
