Apple’s Vice President Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives Lisa Jackson has so much to say concerning the Environmental Protection Agency. She served because the administrator of the EPA throughout Obama’s first time period, and she or he now thinks Donald Trump’s administration is inflicting an incredible risk to the company.
“The Environmental Protection Agency is, to me, an extension of the Department of Defense,” she stated. “It protects something really important in this country, which is a huge competitive advantage. We have clean air to breathe, water to drink and land to develop and build on.”
“And I just have to say the EPA hasn’t changed. There’s a leadership change, which is beyond politics in my mind. The EPA has been run by Democrats, by Republicans, but has never, in its history that is 40+ years old, been run by someone who seems to be determined to do the one thing that could destroy its credibility, which is not making it transparent.”
Jackson didn’t cease there. She additionally thinks that it’s essential to let the EPA do its job and defend everyone’s well being. It just isn’t the case proper now.
“Every EPA administrator has committed to regulate transparently. We don’t have that commitment anymore. It’s not the EPA, it’s that the leadership has decided to move away from the transparency that assures people that their health and their community come first rather than somebody else’s bottom line.”
Jackson then talked about Apple extra particularly. Many folks assume you need to select between repairing and changing a tool. “I don’t think you can say repairability equals longevity,” she stated. Instead, she thinks Apple ought to deal with constructing sturdy merchandise. By specializing in sturdiness, you may decrease each repairs and replacements.
In reality, Apple is conscious that many merchandise have two or three totally different house owners over their life cycle. That’s why Apple seems to be at these life cycles as models of environmental impression.
“What’s the life cycle’s impact on climate change? What’s the life cycle’s impact on resources?” Jackson stated.
Jackson additionally added that Apple dedicated to utilizing assets in a round system. “I think there’s a business opportunity for people who are willing to rethink recycling,” she stated. “There’s incentive to you to get those resources back and work on re-using them.”
“We’re looking at rare earths and other materials. You know there’s 100+ materials in an iPhone. We want to figure out how to move those back into the chain.”
