as one of the largest producers of e-waste in the USA, their celebration of Earth Day is absurd

So $40 for 24 bottles of water. Hard pass. I don’t understand buying bulk bottled water anyway. As a one off out of the cooler at the checkout like, sure. If you drink bottled water often enough that you’re buying a case, you’d be much better served using a charcoal filter and a reusable bottle.

And if you buy one of these, for less than half the cost of one of these cases of water, your water will stay cold all day, unlike from a plastic bottle. And if insist on drinking disgusting flavored water, you can get some Mio or the like.

I think recycling is best, they say you shouldn’t reuse a coke bottle for instance, rubbish yes you can. I reuse plastic bottles all the time. Then I stick them in the recycling!
We don’t have solar although we’d love too, but we do pay a company who gets as much of electricity from renewable sources and they invest in that too. Gas though is gas I guess? Not sure how gas production is harmful but I’m sure it is?
Man has a long long long long way to go to clean up this place, I don’t think Amazon’s idea or the EU’s idea to stick thousands of satellites up helps either.. sure it might give you GPS or something else, but the amount of rubbish circling earth is astounding!
Sorry went off on an eco warrior rant..
Here in the Uk though, they put flouride into the water, help with teeth. Now some may not like that, but tap water is more stringently regulated and monitored then any bottled water. And the water companies have actually been fined for making mistakes.
So whilst bottled water does taste nice, it does make you think when it’s not as well checked and regulated.

You might not understand that the travel requirements of a very successful 132K full time employee (2/3 not retail) worldwide organization with $256 billion in revenue. And that meetings outside of those handled by telephone and video conferencing are often required.
Did they apologize for After Earth?
Apple always had a cult following. Now it is turning into a cult of a weirder kind. Tim sure does have a tin ear at times. The mediocrity and self-congratulation of some of Apple's recent 'events' is deeply depressing. Not everything you do is an iPhone-level announcement, guys. Now I know why Steve Jobs was so secretive: he only said something when he had something to say. I long for those times again!
you can't say who will be a super power and when.
It took over 20 years for them just to vote to allow Coca Cola in the country.
Because he’s not an intellectual. He’s harming the environment with his product. This product isn’t new or beneficial. He’s wasting energy and adding to the problem of climate change. And the public will buy this crap!
I admit he’s trying to make the world better but there is a certain responsibility behind being an icon. He hasn’t done his due diligence of the true impact his product will make and instead sees a pay check. Unfortunately Tim Cook is furthering this shill by hosting his scammy water. He’d be better off selling the flavour packets! Do you know how much energy it takes to move water?
Apple products are very anti-green, they are designed none repairable and Apple clamps down hard at any company attempting to offer repair to any Apple product.
If Apple was so environmentally friendly it would make products that were easier to repair and not designed to break as that just increases products being discarded were they could of been repaired if Apple would just allow it.
They are today too many iPhone, iPad and MacBooks being discarded because the none removable battery inside has failed, if it was replaceable then a lot of these items would not be discovered, Apple claims for a fee they can replace the battery but over charge more than the debris worth for force customers to discard it and buy a new one.

Apple is not flying people in aircraft using leaded fuel.
The airline in the article you referred is United. Their fleet uses modern turbofan engines like all major commercial airlines. Turbofan engines do not use leaded fuel.
The only remaining leaded fuel aircraft have piston engines. They are very small, mostly private planes.
More fluff from the kings of fluff. Apple. But in this case it’s disgustingly hypocritical rubbish. Selling water in containers that have to be shipped over many miles is the height of human arrogance, greed and downright stupidity. Which perfectly sums up Apple under Cook and Co.
Hey Timmy, how about a rechargeable mouse and track pad instead of filling up the planet with dead AA batteries.
No, all Tim and his mates want to do is hob nob with the Hollywood elite (sic)

What does that even mean? I work as a graphics operator/designer for live events. Almost all my work involves flying somewhere. I fly about 10 trips per year and the rest of the time I work out of my house. I drive a 99 Plymouth Neon and THIS YEAR I will finally hit 100,000 miles on the odometer. I maybe buy 10 gallons of gas a MONTH. I also have solar panels for my electricity. Compare that to the average person who drives every day to a regular job and burns WAY more fossil fuel than I. It’s the totality of how a person lives, not just one action you try to condemn them for.
