Nothing is ever as simple as it appears on Internet forums.
At any rate, Apple’s initiatives to reduce waste, to switch to renewables, and move towards carbon neutrality should be lauded. They walk the walk for more than most corporations.

They certainly talk the talk, but don't walk the walk.
This is one of the reasons I use Apple products.
Greenpeace $2 activists and so-called "Celebrity" sellout activists like Greta can be easily purchased and made to parrot your own narrative. All these claims by Apple are worthless when you factor in their proprietary charges and cables. Non-repairability of their devices with simple DIY swaps also goes against them.
It's all just marketing BS while Apple continues to manufacture in China, India and every other cheap labor provider that doesn't care whatsoever about "carbon emissions."
Keep drinking that Kool-Aid, Apple fans.

We will own nothing and be happy ♡
I'd rather have more affordable products than pay a higher price for "carbon neutral" nothingness.
Believe the science. Universal carbon neutrality and elimination of fossil fuels by 2035 or we are all going to die. Okay, maybe not die, but at least maybe lose our beach houses.
Wait but… isn’t that carbon dioxide that’s just taken out of the atmosphere, compressed, and then released into the greenhouse to regulate the gas mixture?
Lmao that has nothing to do with generating beyond what’s already in place…
… other than yes of course the energy used to regulate the mixture in the form of monitoring and then compressing and releasing….
… which could be done with solar panels…
… and then go replant an area, or donate money to a tree planting service…
If you want to be super technical about offsetting the carbon footprint of using energy to optimize greenhouse gas mixture.

Now if you are trolling, then this message was all for nothing.
At least some companies are making an effort. Congratulations Apple
e-waste is up to the customers.
Apple can't force customer's to not buy new Apple stuff.
Who knows exactly how it’s done. I’m thinking it’s good they do so something atleast.
would be nice with an external auditor checking how it is.
Yes, I care about this. So should you. And don’t play dumb. If you’re a climate denier, just say so.
This is a good step but it seems like this does only apply to Apple’s direct (Tier 1) suppliers, is that correct? Those would be mostly manufacturers of components, chips etc. A significant amount of emissions (if not the by far largest amount) is being caused by raw material (Tier 2) suppliers such as mining sites etc. Are they being included in Apple’s policies?
It always baffles me how people who have the time and expertise to post or parrot ideologies have this chicken little mindset.
Sitting comfortably in a dry, warm or cooled shelter with food to sustain oneself, running water (hot/cold), electricity, etc while benefiting from other nations and people’s exploits while having the moral disdain that those who have far less, none at all or never will should do more or less to benefit their personal lifestyle.
When do people see the folly of their ways and step down from they collective high horse to consider would their be willing to sacrifice their lifelong privileges for the greater good vice pointing the finger at other nations and societies to compromise more.
Talk is cheap folks, if you really believe what you are saying sell everything your own, go live in a third country/developing country as a local and then come back in 5 years with an update if you will continue with the lifestyle or not.
Physical action not just words from all the commenters or you just be trolling.
So when are we expecting you to give away everything you own and live in the woods or a cave, come on now it’s for the betterment of the planet and all life. No time to waste get going 😝
shes so terrible.
So dumb. Companies treating plant food like it's some sort of toxic and hazardous substance.
