It’s amazing how much ignorance is coupled with arrogance.

It is actually not simply "trees planted". It also includes payments for "not cutting down trees". Watch the John Oliver expose of this fabrication. E.g. The Nature Conservatory which is a very large 503c org that uses donations to buy large lots of trees so they will not be cut down is now selling those same lots as "carbon offets" because NC could "...if they wanted to" harvest their trees. So despite the fact the NC will not cut down those trees, they get to sell offsets which I am sure Apple has bought in abundance because Greenwashing in concert with The Nature Conservacy is even better for PR. There are even worse examples than the NC. Carbon Offset has been proven in study after study to be little more than Greenwashing.
Again I ask Tim, LisaJ, et. al. -- WHERE IS MY Fairphone OPTION ?? Apple is likely one of the greatest greenwashers on the planet. Viturally all of their extremely highly mfg'ed products (think about lots of mined elements, trans costs, etc.) has a very limited life due to Apple's Design decisions. Apple could have offered a Fairphone or a Framework line of portables/PCs. Yet they did not, nor will they likely ever offer such options as long as Tim as at the helm and their bogus greenwashing continues.
Yet consumers also really dont care. New & Shiny wins almost every time.
They aren’t quiet. It’s pointed out quite regularly. But what isn’t amazing is how often parrots 🦜 regurgitate diversion talking points.
Please, don’t even try because you don’t know what you are talking about.
What on earth are people talking about? I feel the word "carbon" triggered a script in people's head and they're just spilling it out into the forum... It's clear that nobody has actually looked at what Apple has published on their efforts.
If only we could power the world with cynicism, the lights would never flicker...

Apple will be ready for when world governments start taxing businesses for any carbon at any stage in their operations.
Baaa ha ha ha ha

Pandering apple panders

So they are completely pulling out of China & India?
The #1 & #2 carbon emitters in the world?
is this per capita ?
2021 numbers.
India: 1.93t
China: 8.05t
USA: 14.86t
Carbon emissions per capita should be the correct data to look at.
India & China have larger populations so obviously emissions would be higher

Apple will take back your old electronics and recycles them.
2021 numbers (per capita).
who doesn't give f about environment ?
India: 1.93t
China: 8.05t
USA: 14.86t

riiiiiight
If you believe that, I’d have loved to have met you back in my sales days

More of this joker's virtual signaling rather than focusing on making Apple great again....
Good to hear that Apple is steadily moving towards the finish line.
What's funny is that most of people believe this b***s**t of carbon impact when real pollution is something else and not something made to penalize only normal citizens. Real data and real facts are easy to be found on internet and they are from indipendet, not bribed, scientists, as always, to know the truth you just need to "follow the money".
LOL Big Deal. They release new models every year and push you to replace on a yearly cycle. Who cares if they rEcYcLe them. They make huge quantities and push people to buy them every year despite the fact there is no real reason to. Ewaste kings.
