Apple is also moving their energy to renewable sources for all of their facilities, their partners, and I believe their partners' partners.

They are not just pushing renewable sources with the partners and partners' partners, but are also pushing for Carbon neutral.

With that plan meant to hit "zero/negative footprint by 2030" I find myself feeling less and less guilty about buying their products and returning the "not yet old" versions.

And in 2030, I'd be happy to pay Apple the incremental extra $ for the guilt free experience.

I mean, it is aspirational and 10 years away. So they could be wrong and not hit the goal.

Beyond that, yes I buy iPhones anyways and so will trust Apple at their word until some new agency does a deep dive and provides the counterfactual data. Or if over 10 years, Apple erodes the trust they have built with me.

Yeah maybe first let others fix your apple products so you dont have to buy a new one every 3 years...THAT would be the first step.

BTW: stop trust a company...thats what religion is for...and if you live in a really good place the goverment...but NEVER a Company

Given the other options, it's a vote with my wallet for the kind of world I want.
