Where was Mother Nature when Apple made the AirPods?

Apple used the Mother Nature bit to pat itself on the back for reaching several milestones in its goal of becoming a zero -carbon emissions company by 2030 .

Apple 's AirPods design isn't sustainable, and Apple isn’t doing anything about it.

Apple has until 2030 to fix this issue, but by then, I might need to get three additional pairs of AirPod without really recycling the old ones.
