Apple is relying on carbon credits to claim Apple Watch is carbon neutral.

Gods I watched the event thing because I was curious about the new pro model phones, and their constant blabber about carbon neutral became a meme we’re still mocking in my household.

The entire masturbatory skit about “mother Earth” is a perfect example of corporate cringe.

I know the word cringe is overused but no word fits it better.

Apple could use Coca Cola’s defence on the vitamin water lawsuit.

“no consumer could reasonably be misled into thinking vitaminwater was a healthy beverage.”

No reasonable customer should believe their products is carbon neutral.

Unless the product is fucking logs found in the woods.

Great thing we actually have organizations to shit down this shenanigans.

I have 7 trees on my property. If you pay me $700 I’ll promise not to cut them down for five years, and you can subtract 35 tons of CO2 from your environmental balance sheet.

That’s how carbon offsets work. They’re bullshit.

A true arbon neutral watch would cost the same but there’d be no profit left for the brand if they really did donate to companies that would plant trees or would lock away carbon dioxide

lol you mean capitalists lie? Wow!

Carbon credits are bullshit and carbon neutral isn’t even good enough anymore.
