Article- Apple's New Solar Projects To Slash Over 20 Million Tons Of Emissions, Valerie Volcovivi and Julia Love, October 22, 2015, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/apples-new-solar-projects-will-generate-as-much-power-as-265000-homes_5628e8fee4b0aac0b8fbc760?utm_hp_ref=green&ir=Green&section=green&ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000044

Topic: Renewable resources 

Summary: 
     Apple has announced that they are going to use green energy in Chinese supply chain; stopping all the criticism that they are producing harmful pollutants in China. The technology company has decided to built a 200 megawatts of solar energy projects in China, and work closely with local  suppliers to "source more renewable energy." Apple wants to influence other manufacturing partners  to turn green. Foxconn, a major Apple supplier, said that in 2018, 400 MW of solar energy projects will be well along the way to help suppliers to adapt to being green. This new approach will avoid 20 million tons of greenhouse gas in China. The company's next step is to become green in California. 
     I chose this article because I was surprised to learn that Apple, a major technology company, has decided to go green. What I found most interesting was that Apple is installing 200 MW all over China. This approach reminds me of the Vancouver Company that has decided to created G-Cups to help the environment. 
     This Article is important to environmental science because companies are starting to make a change in the environment. This approach is going to help cut back greenhouse gasses; bettering the environment. The next step is to start making other technology companies see the good in changing their supply chain to green. Now is the time for other companies to see the good in saving the environment, and that it is doable.
