Apple shares four new Earth Day videos, showing their ongoing green energy efforts
Apple has released four new Earth Day videos showing their green energy efforts and some of the science behind clean energy. The humours explainer clips contain illustrations and narrations from Apple execs including Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives.
The videos give us an insight into what testing Apple does prior to releasing a product, including how the company scientifically creates 30 gallons worth of sweat every year to dip, dunk and submerge their products into check they are safe to come into contact with human skin.
Do solar farms feed yaks? – “Lisa Jackson, Apple’s lead on Environment work, gives a crash course on how our 40-megawatt solar farms in China produce enough electricity for all of Apple’s offices and retail stores in the country—and grass to feed yaks.”
Can we produce zero waste? – “None of Apple’s 14 final assembly facilities in China send any waste to landfills. As in zero. And that all started when John Reynolds in iPhone Product Operations visited a factory in Guanlan, China.”
Why does Apple make its own sweat? “Apple’s toxicology experts Rob Guzzo and Art Fong will grossly tell you how we make about 30 gallons worth of sweat every year, and how it keeps you safe.”
Can a building breathe? “Apple Park uses outside air to cool the building naturally, reducing the campus’ cooling load by 35 percent a year. Apple’s VP of Real Estate, Dan Whisenhunt, breaks down why this is well…cool.”
