@StevenBarnhart @danlyke File under “duh", right? How could it not, especially in car-centric countries. And not working at all would reduce emissions further.

@gruber @danlyke true, but besides not working apple is trying hard things to be better for the environment. Some required a change of thinking I imagine. There’s no reason to let one of biggest contributors be a blind spot because “that’s how we always did it”.
