    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Apple also said it plans to stop selling leather accessories like watch bands and phone cases to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

    When it comes to climate commitments, boasts about a specific product’s sustainability can distract from the far more important goal of reducing the company’s overall environmental impact.

    Apple says it was able to reduce emissions from materials, electricity, and transportation in production of the watches, in part by getting more of its suppliers to switch to clean energy.

    The material is made with nearly 70 percent postconsumer recycled content, and Apple says it has “significantly lower” carbon emissions than leather.

    Cattle are a big source of greenhouse gas emissions because cows burp out methane, which is even more potent than CO2 when it comes to its ability to trap heat on the planet.

    The good news is that Apple’s gross carbon emissions are falling, according to its latest environmental progress report.
