[font size=3]Apple has hired former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to serve as vice president for environmental initiatives, she confirmed to POLITICO late Tuesday.
The news was broken Tuesday night by Apple CEO Tim Cook at the website All Things Ds D11 tech conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.
Im incredibly impressed with Apples commitment to the environment and Im thrilled to be joining the team, Jackson told POLITICO via email, using her iPhone.
Apple has shown how innovation can drive real progress by removing toxics from its products, incorporating renewable energy in its data center plans, and continually raising the bar for energy efficiency in the electronics industry, she continued. I look forward to helping support and promote these efforts, as well as leading new ones in the future aimed at protecting the environment.
