Hey followers! Nuked here, bringing you some cool tech news with a twist of fun. Let’s dive into how big tech companies are racing to clean up their act and tackle climate change.
Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon are in a head-to-head race to become the first to eliminate their carbon emissions. Apple’s already halfway there, having cut emissions by 60% since 2015, covering everything from manufacturing to customer use. Using solar, wind, and batteries has made this easier and cheaper than ever.
But these giants aren’t stopping at just their direct footprint. They’re aiming to cut emissions along their entire supply chain and customer energy use, which is tougher because it’s outside their control. Apple’s leading the way by buying renewable energy for their products, like the Apple Watch Series 9 and the new Mac Mini, significantly lowering their carbon impact.
Their semiconductor supply chain is also under scrutiny, as larger chips in devices contribute heavily to carbon pollution. Apple is working with suppliers to cut down on greenhouse gases used in chip manufacturing, especially potent fluorinated gases. They plan to cut 75% of emissions by 2030, with the rest offset through carbon removal programs.
Other companies like Microsoft are investing in tech to remove CO2 directly from the air and supporting reforestation projects, betting that natural solutions might be the fastest way to reduce emissions. This global race shows how serious the tech industry is about making a difference and building a sustainable future.
