I think next month's WWDC and the AR goggles/glasses are really going to define how this decade plays out for Apple. There's clearly some kind of unification strategy going on behind the scenes but whether it's going to

It takes 600 years to biodegrade which is nothing in the overall scheme of things. Scientists also seem to be well on their way to creating a bacteria that consumes plastic. Personally I think plastic waste is going to be a mostly solved is
