How do they come off as sustainable and cool when their are responsible for all this trash production?
- stouset 14y agoHighly-recyclable parts of glass and aluminum. The anecdote from the article aside, Apple operates a recycling program where you can simply bring in your old hardware (IIRC) for a discount on the new hardware.

- Karunamon 14y agoYeah but that's Greenpeace. As far as credibility goes, Greenpeace:environment::Sea Shepherds:marine life
