Apple steps up offering environmental lessons
Apple Inc is stepping up to raise awareness of leveraging technologies for environmental protection through a string of "Today at Apple" lessons, which are designed to encourage more people to protect the environment and biodiversity and speak up for the planet. The curriculum has invited photographers and designers who are concerned about the environment and nature as guest tutors to share creative skills in using iPhones and iPads as well as to help participants understand environmental issues such as biodiversity and climate change from a creative perspective. The lessons are jointly organized by Apple and Beijing Entrepreneur Environmental Protection Foundation, a Beijing-based non-governmental organization aiming to protect the environment. Xi Zhinong, a renowned wildlife photographer, shared his years of experience using Apple devices to shoot pictures outdoors. Nature illustrators, podcast hosts and science popularization new media creators also introduced their experiences in promoting environmental knowledge to the public and commented on the learning achievements of environmental protection agencies during this period.
