Apple Launches $200 Million 'Restore Fund' to Remove Carbon From Atmosphere

Why not 300 million Tim Apple?!

Baby steps.

This is a drop in the bucket compared to changing the habits of billions of wasteful people and bad industrial practices while clearing nature to build more stuff while already-built stuff just sits unused.

Well said. But many drops fill a bucket.
Lead by example. Nothing wrong with that.

now buy new apple stuff every year in fancy packaging. no planet saving user upgrades allowed!!!

or something like that.

By fancy packaging do you mean this recycled cardboard with almost no plastic stuff in the box?

 

[ericwn]

Of course because greedy rich shareholders are more important than the planet.

Shareholders are clever enough to understand the image this creates, besides the positive impact on the planet. Of course.

No it’s the typical Apple PR machine at work.

One doesn’t exclude the other necessarily. The information is still relevant for plenty of shareholders I think.

As much as I love supporting the environment, why doesn't Apple throw some money at Blender.org so they (the Blender foundation) can put development into the M1 and Metal? It, too, is a non-prof with many other major players contributing annually to it.

And why would Apple want to do that? What’s Apple’s benefit in the medium or long run?

 

[ericwn]

I really dont care either way. If believing this make you feel better……enjoy. Apple PR is truly amazing.

You cared enough to downplay it online. QED.

If Apple died tomorrow nothing bad would happen. Someone else would step in and take their place. Plenty of tech companies have failed over the years and the world keeps turning.

Absolutely nothing bad could happen if a company with 100000 employees and probably a twentyfold of partners and suppliers goes out of business.

Thanks for that well thought through analysis.

It's the "apple never does enough" syndrome that constantly that is pervasive on MacRumors. (Hopefully posters that criticize apple for not giving enough have themselves given at least $.01)

Right, my issue isn't Apple -- it's the average person who completely disregards their impact on this world.
