It does not seem like they are buying offsets. Also why would Fair materials mean nothing?
- mytailorisrich 1y agoThey are claiming that they are recycling something to offset their phones... that's nice but it tells us very little. "Fair materials" means nothing in itself and certainly nothing in relation to sustainability.
