    There will be an infinite number of 3rd parties making leather bands and I will get one of those. Apple’s facade of “caring about the environment” is hilarious though. That mother earth video is cringe as fuck. How does Apple feel about all their customers who buy a new phone EVERY YEAR? Is that good for the environment? It’s certainly good for Apple’s stock price.

    EDIT: THEY PLANTED SOME TREES IN SOUTH AMERICA. It offsets pollution and makes up for exploiting workers in asia. Everything is great!

      At least they are doing something. Why not complain about companies who don’t give a shit and continue to poison the environment?

      I am also sure whichever phone you’re using was built by some laborer who is underpaid and has poor working conditions overseas. This isn’t an apple issue, it’s an issue of the companies who own the factories who build the phones (Foxconn)
