Give the land for a nominal fee—or for free—to the right kind of farmer who will bring in sheep and plan the grazing around those solar panels to regreen those yellow areas with nature’s organic matter and to help pull carbon down into those soils: https://vimeo.com/80518559

Awful experience.  Bland shows. Terrible UX. There's no chance in hell I'm paying for that.

Nonsense. Seamless experience. Interesting shows. UX better than Netflix. 

To my surprise the UX is actually worse than Netflix—which I’ve just unsubscribed from. Can Apple at least just give Apple TV+ content and service its own tab so they average user knows what the hell is going on. Lumping streaming shows in with pay-for shows is confusing and frustrating. There’s discussions about this on Apple discussion forums. Some users are unsure if they are subscribed or not. You don’t spend $6B on content and lump it in with other content in such a confusing manner.

The Apple TV app on iPhone is terrible.

Apple should cut down on the $150M dollars of yearly flights they take; 50 business class seats daily. Not including the private corporate and personal jetting.

I’d like to see more information on the methods their grasslands project will employ via that conservation enterprise. It concerns me why they’d be using new methods when holistic planned grazing already works in Africa—and everywhere it has been done, for decades. Awareness of these methods certainly seems to be increasing as of late. 

Apple could really help this issue in creating a regenerative agriculture/holistic planned grazing fund to stimulate soil carbon sequestration and restoration uptake around the world: https://youtu.be/0zEnoTEom9U
(these methods originate from Zimbabwe)

Here’s more on this method and its origins, if you were curious: https://youtu.be/vpTHi7O66pI

Scientists testing soils, if you wanted to geek out: https://vimeo.com/181861077

Instead of focusing on planting, the team will test social interventions. For example, they might help Maasai herders shift to rotational grazing, which could help degraded areas of rangeland recover. The theory: With strategic interventions, the landscape can rebound on its own.

This part looks promising. I hope it’s not just editorial on the part of fast company.

Apple should consider a small sibling product. In typical Apple fashion it won't be cheap, but a $149 HomePod mini product alongside its larger sibling would be something.
