It’s a very small amount of plastic and metal. It really doesn’t matter.

- Eric_WVGG 6y agoI once did some napkin math to figure out how many Teslas worth of lithium ion battery have been made (total). I was expecting dozens, but came up with low thousands. (Gotta factor in the case, after all.) Still insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Worrying about the environmental impact of AirPods is like legislating shower flow while turning a blind eye to the useless millions of acres of lawns and the water they suck up (1.7 trillion gallons vs 234 trillion gallons). Dumb, a bit insulting.
