How -- How was the weather getting in?
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
- The weather was however I wanted it to be.
Let's cut to the chase.
In 2020, you promised to bring Apple's entire carbon footprint
to zero by 2030.
Henry David Thoreau over here
said, "We have a profound opportunity to build
a more sustainable future for the planet we share."
- I think our 10 o'clock said the same thing.
- They all do.
All right.
This is my third corporate responsibility gig today,
so who wants to disappoint me first?
- Well, we've got some updates we're excited
to share with you --
- Materials! Status.
- Is there a materials person here?
- Yes.
We are in the process of eliminating all plastic
from our packaging by the end --
- Let me guess.
Fifty years from now when someone else is left
holding the bag?
- By the end of next year, actually.
- And we're also currently using 100 percent
recycled aluminum in the enclosures
of all our MacBooks, Apple TVs, Apple Watch.
- What about iPod shuffle?
- The... Well... [AWKWARD CROSSCHATTER]

Don't you people make "Ted Lasso"?

They phasing you out too?
- Oh.
- What's next?
- Electricity.
- Electricity. Status.
- Uh, we -- we're operating on 100 percent clean electricity.
- What runs on 100 percent clean electricity?
- Every Apple office, store, and data center
runs on clean electricity, thanks to you
and your powerful wind and sun.
- Mm.
- And Apple offices are already carbon neutral.
- This building is carbon neutral?
- Well, yeah, we do it with a mix of clean energy
and eliminating greenhouse emissions.
It's kind of like if you were to --
- You're seriously explaining carbon neutrality
to Mother Nature?
- Right. No, I'm sorry.
- You want to tell me how photosynthesis works too?
Don't.
- Um, also, over 300 suppliers have committed
to using 100 percent clean renewable electricity.
- What's next?
- [INHALES DEEPLY] Transportation.
- I'm proud to report that we're shipping more products
by ocean rather than air,
which reduces transportation emissions by 95 percent.
- Ninety-five percent?
♪
Not too bad.
- I'm also happy to report that we're investing in projects
around the world that protect the earth's soil, plants,
and trees.
- [SCOFFS] Everyone says they're planting trees.
- We've planted forests.
- Oh! Hello.
- Where?
- Paraguay, Brazil.
- What, are you trying to save the tropical savanna?

- Yes.
And we've also restored mangroves in Colombia.
- What else? - Grasslands in Kenya.
- Why?

from the atmosphere.

- As you can see,
we've innovated and retooled almost every part of our process
to reduce our impact on the planet.
But there's still a lot more work to do.

- You're not trying to bribe Mother Nature with Apple swag?
- It's Apple's very first carbon neutral product.

I want to see you do more of this.
