Uma ungomunye wabadala emhlabeni we-Apple, uzosikhumbula leso sikhathi lapho USteve Jobs, umsunguli we-CEO ongasekho we-Apple, akakholwanga lutho ngesikhathi bemtshela ngokugaywa kabusha, banakekele iplanethi noma benze izinto ezingalimazi kangako imvelo.
Konke lokhu kwashintsha ngokuhamba kweminyaka kwaze kwafika isikhathi lapho I-Apple ifake isicelo nenye yezinkampani ezihamba phambili noma ebaluleke kakhulu mayelana nokugaywa kabusha, ukukhiqizwa kwamandla avela emithonjeni yemvelo kanye nokukhiqizwa kwemishini nemikhiqizo enekhabhoni ephansi.
I-Apple isekela ubuchwepheshe obusha obuluhlaza ngama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-4.700 kumabhondi aluhlaza
Kulokhu, inkampani yeCupertino isanda kumemezela i utshalomali lwezigidi ezingu-4.700 zamadola kumabhondi aluhlaza ukushayela ukuthuthukiswa kokukhiqizwa kwekhabhoni ephansi kanye nobuchwepheshe bokugaywa kabusha. Kulokhu, angamabhondi amathathu aluhlaza asuka ngonyaka odlule wezi-2016 ahloselwe amaphrojekthi kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali okuvumela ukwehlisa ukungcola nokuhlinzeka ngamandla ahlanzekile emhlabeni wonke. Njengengxenye yalolu hlelo, i-Apple ithenga i-aluminium engenayo i-carbon kulandela inqubekelaphambili kubuchwepheshe be-Foundry obunciphisa ukungcola. Le aluminium ingeyokuqala ukukhiqizwa esikalini sezimboni ngaphandle kwelabhorethri ngaphandle kokukhiqiza ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni okuqondile phakathi nenqubo yokuncibilikisa. Inkampani ihlela ukusebenzisa lezi zinto ku-iPhone SE futhi.
U-Lisa Jackson, iphini likamongameli we-Environmental, Policy and Social Initiatives kwa-Apple uthe:
Kwa-Apple, sizibophezele ekushiyeni umhlaba ungcono kunalokho esikutholile, futhi amabhondi aluhlaza ayithuluzi elibalulekile ezinhlelweni zethu zemvelo. Ukutshalwa kwezimali kwethu kuqhuba ubuchwepheshe obushintshashintshayo obusivumela ukuthi sehlise izinga lekhabhoni lezinto esizisebenzisayo, ikakhulukazi manje njengoba sidlulela ekusetshenzisweni okukhethekile kwezinto ezigaywa kabusha nezivuselelekayo kuyo yonke imikhiqizo yethu ukuze songe izinsiza ezinomkhawulo zeplanethi.
I-Apple itshale imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-4.700 ukuze isondele nakakhulu emgomweni wayo wokufeza ukungathathi hlangothi kwekhabhoni kulo lonke uchungechunge lwayo lokuhlinzeka ngo-2030. Izibopho zayo zokuqala eziluhlaza, ezikhishwe ngo-2016 no-2017, manje sezinikezwe ngokugcwele. Futhi oka-2019 uxhasa ngezimali amaphrojekthi angama-50, okuhlanganisa nokukhiqizwa kwe-aluminium enekhabhoni ephansi. Le miklamo engama-50 izoqeda noma yehlise ukukhishwa kwamathani ayi-2.883.000 e-CO2e, futhi izovumela ukufakwa cishe kwamamegawathi angama-700 wamandla avuselelekayo emhlabeni wonke. futhi izofaka isandla ocwaningweni nasekuthuthukisweni kobuchwepheshe bokugaywa kabusha.
