Likely by now you have heard something about Apple’s battle with the FBI. Likely less known, is that during this time Apple also announced another first – they will be the first U.S. tech company to issue Green Bonds, $1.5 billion to be exact. Apple plans to use the funds to mainly pay for several different environmental initiatives. More importantly, they want to be an example and pave the way for other companies to do the same.“With everything we do, we want to show what’s possible and pave the way for others to follow.”

Inspiration
I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue comes money and every other good of man, public as well as private. This is my teaching, and if this is the doctrine which corrupts the youth, I am a mischievous person. ~ Socrates
