Well yeah and it’s why I’ll never buy a phone that isn’t sustainable. These companies are a poison to our world. It’s just very disappointing to me how few of us have a shred of integrity. It’s so sad and sickening.

The two big leaders Apple and Samsung they’re leading the way in the poison the earth brigade. And in these times all the assholes who talk about climate change yet use a ton of non-sustainable tech because it’s enjoyable…. They all sicken me and I have no respect for a single one. I’d just as soon they all drop dead.
