Fit & Fine Planet
The Apple Watch Series 9 comes with not just all the goodness that is expected from that line of watches; it is great for the environment too. Apple’s first carbon-neutral product is manufactured with 100% clean electricity. Apple has also reduced transportation-related emissions with a logistics plan that uses more non-air shipping over the lifetime of all carbon-neutral watches and bands. And the residual emissions are covered by investing in carbon credits. In addition, the watch contains 30% recycled content, including 100% recycled aluminium in the enclosure. Go on, keep yourself fit and the environment fine.

Wood is Good
Most of us use some form of earbuds in our daily lives, with a few even using multiple pairs for different use cases. And a majority of us don’t even think of the environmental impact as we pop these ubiquitous objects made of plastic and metal into our ears. But worry not. This pair of earbuds from the House of Marley has got your back. These buds, which look super cool, are made of bamboo, which is believed to be the most sustainable material in the world as it grows quickly and regenerates on its own. In addition, the company has used natural wood fibre composite and recycled plastic in the construction of these earbuds. And they’ve done all this without compromising on functionality.
