Apple says it has saved 550,000 tonnes of ore by not sending the charger

Apple recently announced its green record for the past two years. It eliminated the plastic wrap that covers the iPhone case through a redesign that reduced the amount of plastic used by 600 tons. By no longer shipping the charger, Apple is estimated to have saved 550,000 tonnes of copper, tin and zinc ore. According to Apple, the "No more chargers" change is a bold move, and it's worth it to reduce the extraction of the earth's resources.
