Description: Renewables are a big part of it

Two years ago, we told you about our ambitious goal, one that we hope others will adopt. We told you that our goal was to be 100 % renewable in 100 % of our operations world wide. That's all of our offices, all of our retail stores, and every single one of our data centers. So two year later, how are we doing? Well currently 93 % of our facilities worldwide run on renewable energy. [ APPLAUSE ] And just last year we reached our goal of using 100 % renewable power to power our operation in the United States As well as our offices and stores in China. In fact, we're now a 100 % renewable in 23 countries around the world. Let me tell you about another way we're working to preserve our planet resources. And that's through reuse and recycling. Let me introduce you to a pretty cool RND project. We call him Liam. The iPhone is the result of years of innovation. But true innovation means considering what happens to a product at every stage of its life cycle. Meet Liam. [ MUSIC ] When it's time, Liam deconstructs your iPhone. Hardware detached and removed. And separated. [ MUSIC ] So the materials inside those parts can be repurposed, to rescue cobalt and lithium from the battery, separate the gold and copper in the camera, extract silver and platinum from the main logic board, so the materials in your iPhone.... Can live on. [ MUSIC ] Because of the world with limited resources, somethings can't be replaced. [ MUSIC ]
