Earth Day, how are tech companies welcoming it?

Today is the 53rd Earth Day, and the issue of environmental protection has once again entered the public eye.

On Earth Day in 2016, 171 countries signed the Paris Agreement, a climate agreement at the United Nations, aimed at slowing global warming through various effective measures. In the past few years, carbon neutrality has become a topic frequently discussed by all walks of life, and the pace of development and utilization of renewable energy has been greatly accelerated in various countries.

Technology enterprises play an important role in the process of energy conservation and emission reduction. Today, on Earth Day, companies such as Huawei and Apple have used some activities to promote the importance of environmental protection to the public, and at the same time, they talked about their efforts in environmental protection.

The above are some of the activities that companies are launching today, and there are many more technology companies that are saving energy and reducing emissions in their own industries. It can be seen that more and more technology companies are practicing low-carbon and green production and operation methods, and through the influence of their own platforms, they are spreading the concept of protecting the earth’s ecology to the public. Technology is good, and it is precisely what companies should pursue to use technology to make the world a better place.

Earth Day reminds people to pay attention to the earth. The future of the earth needs the care of each of us.
