You’ve just spent hours on a work proposal, a research paper or even perhaps a final draft of a novel and you hit the wrong button at just the right moment. Maybe your computer chose that moment to crash, and when you restart your computer, your work is gone. Fortunately, in this case, things are rarely ever gone when it comes to technology, even if you delete them.

However, this month the company’s 2022 Environmental Progress Report was released, and proves that Apple has taken multiple steps toward a greener future.
