Watch this

Hi Urvashi,

Ask Apple to clean our cloud now!

Beneath the clean white Apple logo lies one of the dirtiest secrets on the Internet.

Apple uses dirty coal to power the massive data centres they use to store and send our photos, music, movies, and applications. We need to convince Apple to power its data centres from clean energy sources.

Here’s a brand new video exposing Apple’s dirty secret. Be the first to check it out and share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.

You should watch this video and share it with your friends.

Our goal is to reach 150,000 views in the first 48 hours. If we do that, we have a great chance of giving the video the momentum it needs to really get Apple’s attention.

Google has welcomed Greepeace’s new Clean Our Cloud [1] report and believes it will intensify the industry’s focus on renewable energy. We’ve already worked with Facebook to make the switch to cleaner energy sources. Now it’s Apple’s turn. [2]

The more we spread the word the faster we can move cutting-edge cloud technology to using state-of-the-art clean energy sources.

Thanks a billion!

  2. In India, Apple has partnered telecom giant Bharti Airtel to promote its products. Airtel also uses diesel, a dirty energy source powering its network towers. This makes Apple even more environment unfriendly.
