In a bid to be greener than your grandma’s backyard, Apple has just pitched in a cool $99 million to its China Clean Energy Fund. This is part of their grand plan to make their supply chain as carbon-friendly as a pot of organic herbal tea by 2030.
This latest infusion of cash isn’t a random act of kindness; it’s the second phase of a project that kicked off in 2018 to help transition energy use in their supply chain. So, while you’re munching on that deliciously crunchy, non-GMO apple from the store, know that the tech giant is also trying to be good to Mother Earth.
Let’s face it: it’s not just about the shiny new iPhones and iPads anymore; it’s about keeping the planet alive so we can keep using all that cool tech without turning into actual versions of the Wasteland from Mad Max. Kudos to Apple for investing in renewable energy, because Elon Musk can’t be the only one with the eco-friendly crown, right?
So, will this fresh funding actually make a difference, or is it just the latest in a long line of corporate greenwashing? That’s a question to chew on while you contemplate whether to buy that new gadget or just stick with your vintage flip phone for another decade.
