Ah give up the hysterics. Sure they care about the environment. They do a lot based on the materials they use, packaging, power for their factories and campuses etc. but they also care about their bottom line like a successful company does. This sort of hyperbolic comment falls flat because it’s reactionary and lazy.



Words might lie, but deeds do not lie. Look at what they do, not at what they say. Apple is only about bottom line. Look at the Foxconn manufacturing. Look at what chemicals are actually in their computers. Look at their relentless focus on using the cheapest labor and put suicide nets in their facilities instead of giving people a few more dollars per day.

Now, every successful company have to have a great bottom-line and that should be a focus as well yes. Not sure how to balance that for a big company like Apple, and I am happy I am not in that position.
