There has to be a transition from non renewable sources of energy towards renewable sources of energy for a more green and clean planet. Apple is in the transition phase of using clean sources of energy and with the years people will have to use such clean sources of energy.
ReplyDeleteIt is shocking how activists need to go to such extreme lengths to be able to make an impact on the operations of such large IT firms that claim to be "green". The fact that these protesters were arrested is sad because they have been arrested for raising awareness and trying to appeal to the large scale firm that is Apple. Apple does claim to be green as of now but the major issue is that it still is not, this is a major issue in the case of such a large firm because small usage of unclean energy can easily surmount to a large quantity of unclean energy usage.
ReplyDeleteBut positive side of this is that Google and Facebook are helping in making planet green.
ReplyDeletethat is just the flipside the negative impacts as of now outweigh the positive impacts.
