In this Our Changing Climate environmental video essay, I look at the hidden costs and sustainable claims of Apple. Specifically, I look at Apple's efforts to reduce its environmental footprint through solar and wind projects. I also look at the repairability of Macs, iPhones, and iPads in order to figure out whether Apple's sustainability claims are marketing ploys or actual commitments. At the end of the day, Apple's products seem to fuel an increased desire for new and shiny tech, which ultimately leads to more e-waste.
