    I tried looking into “carbon neutral” the other day and got lost in a sea of bullshit. I didn’t find a source that goes into the whole process in actual detail. I mean explaining things and giving practical examples of it all. I came out of it thinking, wow it’s all just complete nonsense. “We do what we can to reduce emissions, then pay someone else to ‘offset’ the remaining emissions somehow by mysterious companies”. Don’t ask any more questions, okay? It’s magic.

      It’s immeasurable. Everything affects everything. Most of the time you end up shifting shit around to get the same end result but that gets lost in all the corpo double talk.

      I don’t doubt Apple has made gains. But to say that a product, from start to store literally has no impact on the climate, is, insane.
