I came here to say that the little leaf falling down on the google homepage never fails to give me a mini heart attack. It looks like a bug scurrying across the screen.
same lmao
bro it gave me a mini heart attack for no reason idk why
I know
omg same i load up google and now my screen has a dent but its fine
lol I jump in my chair, it was so weird lmao... But well done Google!
I dont know if anyone else got emotional watching this but I did. I drive for a better future for the world, and I hope we manage to heal the world because its our only chance to do so.
We are our future, and we need to take care of the planet before its too late.
Use Ecosia.org
@Andong Not necessarily. I use Ecosia and I already have more than 3,000 searches in the app. But in some circumstances I use Google
Rusty Viking, these are very wise words!
@@8joeb219 Didn't know that
@Andong As a big tech company, I think they can feel responsible for their actions. Can you tell me what other company as big as Google is so invested in sustainable energy?
Thank you, Google, world would be better if more companies care about climate.
Other companies won't do this because that almost a lose for them and they keep making profits couze that's all they do they make profits and nothing more.
Not like Apple's no charger concept
@@TeaMHackeRPiratE bUt YoU aLrEaDy HaVe ThIs cHaRgEr At HoMe
Btw here is out new charger that use usb c
the world would be better if more companies were efficient and competitive. Google can waste money on that political propaganda because it became a monopoly
Google and other companies who can take the risk will do it, risk in business meaning you just look the other way and do your thing
_'Why are you here?'_
*'The little leaf falling down on the google homepage'*

your google action doesn't make sense. human activity can change the temperature on Earth by a maximum of 0.5 degrees Celsius. taking into account the entire planet - including India, Russia and South America.
The sun's activity has the greatest impact on the temperature on the ground and we have no influence on it, so do not invent shares that are only supposed to draw money from our wallets for something that does not make sense!

How exactly do you offset the co2 emissions of the production of all your phones and smart home devices that are manufactured in China? This is marketing BS and clever fudging of numbers.

Renewable energy is not CO2-neutral.
@@metalenski9174 No duh sherlock. The problem is that we aren't the source of the heat increase. We are a big source of trapping the heat. Co2 and other gases trap the sun's heat inside of earth's atmosphere.
@@metalenski9174 You're denying numbers in equation.
Don't forget about the AI tools google sold to big oil drilling companies how many tons of co2 did that produce? But now Google will ride around on their high horse and pass the guilt on to the consumer to buy there eco friendly products, like apple getting rid of the charger to be "eco friendly" but will refuse to repair an old product, they deflect and pass the problem on to us, when they should be taxed on the amount of carbon produced overall.

Sure, great! But damn, ALL of these claims are soooooo vague and non specific....
Like what does "major company" mean?? And "key regions"??
It's called "virtue signaling". In their 2004 founders' letter[14] prior to their initial public offering, Larry Page and Sergey Brin argued that their "Don't be evil" culture prohibited conflicts of interest, and required objectivity and an absence of bias: (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_be_evil). Of course, they're none of that, now.
Thank you for believing climate change
Thank you google. I really really do appreciate the effort you put into this. It warms my heart and gives me hope that others might follow the patch you went and yet I am aware that this topic belongs to everyone, we all are responsible for our actions and the way we live, me included. We all can and have to contribute for the better.
Again, thanks a lot. Much love from Germany!
Google needs to support business who are leading the field of sustainability, brand like "Public Goods"
I'm not sure I have the same enthusiasm as others. 85% of the pollution is made during the manufacture of a device. For example in wind turbines there are rare metals such as magnets and copper. Ditto in the mirrors of solar power plants. They contain copper, lead.
Has Google taken into account the entire chain of creation of devices to generate the "renewable" energy they use to say that they compensate in carbon equivalent?
All scientists agree that the best renewable energy is to consume as little as possible. Every hour around the world, more than 140 million queries are made on Google. According to Harvard researcher Wissner-Gross, each Google request emits 7 grams of CO2. So in one hour, the CO2 emitted by emails from all over the world is equivalent to 1000 Paris - New York round trips.
How is google working to reduce this consumption?
Did you know that solar power plant has a gas supply cos it doesn't get hot enough by itself and is now derelict anyway and wind generators need a massive concrete base to hold them down not to mention the non recyclable blades! I'm with you mate and not convinced!! also I don't expect all the google employees walk or cycle to work lol! Have you watched Planet of the humans???
@@paulwalker993RSR In the netherlanda we walk and cycle
Maybe I'm not understanding this but how can you eliminate your carbon legacy if you are not already fully running on green energy?
I thought the leaf was a bug.....I nearly threw my 💻

@@agentjeyjey9757 It was part of the google doodle
That's just marketing. Every big company is making these claims right now.
Apple did it and Microsoft too.
Edit: amazon wants to be carbon neutral by 2040.
@Fox Mulder You got any proof to back up those claims?
Why do you think they're lying? First of all, my man Bill Gates has given millions of dollars to a dozen of charities, one including the Earth Institute: a foundation based around sustainability and educating people about the crisis, so why do you think he's lying?
@@moosey7165 Endowments / Foundations are tax avoidance and reputation improvement schemes for unpopular managers - which he was at the end of the 1990ties. According to journalist Richard Rothstein, for every $10 a "philanthropist" like Bill Gates gives away, the government loses about $4 in tax breaks. The ideas his foundations follow are paid with billions in tax payer money at "pledging conferenes" etc. And ofc he uses to invests in companies that are then later backed by taxpayer money. he made billions from the plandemic.
I'm here to say Thank you Google people who has been leading all this amazing projects. I'm seriously amazed. I will support more your guys business from this moment. Thank you.
Thank you Google, for fighting against the Climate Change.
LOL, obviously you will believe anything...a corporation says...the irony...smdh

Thank You Google For Doing This❤️❤️❤️...All The Best for your Future Plans
Use Ecosia.org
I don't even work for Google and I'm so proud of you all for this. In the past, there was the "shareholder" and the "stakeholder" concept. Work hard as a company to improve shareholder value, but do no harm to the stakeholders of the world. You all take that initial mantra of "don't be no evil" to it's greatest limit with your climate change efforts. Congrats and may you accomplish well above what you've set out to do.
My heart overflows with gratitude for your reforestation program! The only other company I know who has a reforestation program is Wayerhouser. For every tree they cut down, they plant 10 trees. My dad worked for them and he told me about it.
with the most expensive electricity in the country its obvious why they went carbon neutral. It saves them money. Just a smart business decision.
Good work Google...but when is Google gonna introduce select all feature for Gmail app?

Carbon free? Really?... That would be impossible.
You're breathing out aren't you?
If you replace all humans with Google Super Computers it could be possible
@@agentjeyjey9757 Which is probably their end goal
@@agentjeyjey9757 GET YOU 230 DOLLAR LAPTOP NOW!
yes they can here is how: google has exactly 132,121 employees, a normal human adult produce around 700g of co2/day.
using the power of math(132,121x700) we can calculate that google produces 92,484kg of co2/day through human breathing alone, and we know that on average a pine tree absorbs 118kg of co2/day, so as long as they plant 783 pine trees they can bring their total carbon dioxide production to 0 which means carbon-free.
And it seems from their video that they are working out an even better way to solve this 1:57 "remove carbon from the atmosphere through science-based reforestation"
You want C02... Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas that helps to trap heat in our atmosphere. Without it, our planet would be inhospitably cold.
Another way for consumers to be more energy efficient is to buy Titanium+ Power Supplies, to get the maximum electricity for the power that you pay. That way less of it goes out as heat, and you pay less in electricity bills. ❤️
Titanium+ power supplies are very pricey. People should try to at least get a Gold or Platinum power supply. The different is only 1-3% efficiency. And if it's not a gaming computer then the wattage saved is negligible with only a 1-3% difference.
Google you need to be more public about this. I had no idea Google was carbon neutral and was doing all these things to help the environment. Google needs to push and promote this more.
This feeling inside me wants to help the plants and nature. So thank you Google for doing what your doing.
While i usually go after big tech on basically everything, we gotta give it to the companies and reward them when they're focusing on issues we as customers care about. Good job Google. While I get mad at you about some of your advertising tactics and monopoly over many markets, this was a good move and I'm really happy you did it.
Yeah, I'm frankly not sure how much I trust this message (what parts _aren't_ they telling us?), but... the message is good, at least, and as a former Googler, I can attest that there's at least _some_ veracity to _some_ of these claims... so... hopefully they're doing good more than evil (though they've dropped "Don't be Evil", so... who knows?!?!)
Big virtue-signaling detected
@Fox Mulder lol ok bro
tell me _why_ google would lie about this? i doubt these plans make a noticeable dent in their profits.
Renewables are useless- and polluting. Get on with nuclear already (-_-)
@@jr_cosmicdustofficial3546 100% yes
I'd like to know what is meant by "science based reforestation", I'm asking because I know an example forest which burned down august 2018 in Brandenburg, Germany. The city administration planted trees shortly after and and many of them dried out, there are trees on that field but the vast majority of them were not planted and regrew naturally. At the other end which also burned down but got left to nature, nature is regenerating and preparing the eco system to get back to it's natural cycle, even after a fire. There aren't just herbacous plants that grow but poplars, pine and other trees.
I'm sceptical about this, but if you want to reforestate something you can and should just take care of a space you want trees and plants to grow on and leave it alone. I'd like to read the science papers upon which your attempt is based on.

@@IAm-zo1bo Every company's priority should be money. That is what leads to impressive things such as youtube (ty capitalism). "Just bought it"? Alphabet has owned youtube for the vast majority of its existence. Yotube was impressive before and has become even more impressive under Alphabet.

Gloating only reveals self-righteousness! If there wasn't so much of it, then I would feel more appreciative. Instead, I was distracted from reading all of Google's accomplishments. Thank you Google for two decades, I'm looking forward to the next decade of changes. Keep up the great job!
your google action doesn't make sense. human activity can change the temperature on Earth by a maximum of 0.5 degrees Celsius. taking into account the entire planet - including India, Russia and South America.

@@metalenski9174 Stop spreading lies, since the 1950's human activity has raised Earth's climate by 0.65 degrees. Even though this is seemingly small, it can have drastic effects on how the ecosystem works. For example, half a degree of increased temperature would double the length of droughts.
While yes the sun does have a large impact on Earth and we can not change it, scientists have confirmed with satellites that the sun has not had an upward trend in temperature since the 1970's. Additionally, if the sun was causing all of this then we'd see it in all layers of the atmosphere, instead, we're only seeing this increase in temperature at the surface where we are emitting all the CO2.
gloating =/= being proud of your work. you're welcome, Cap'n!
Thank you for highlighting your efforts! I especially like that you included what you plan to do in the future.

*_This won’t do anything_*
Its a great idea, but mute. The climate is, and has been, too far gone for years now. The lag effect is a saving grace, but it is only going to get worse.
@@dieudonnebahati2082 Before I respond, don’t listen to me. Read my response, but then go look at current climate information and reports yourself. Avoid biased articles, and just look at current data and projections. I will state my opinion based on recent facts and data, but stuff in this field can become outdated or updated very quickly. _*Do your due diligence, and research*_.
Now, firstly, I am aware that this isn’t its “final form”. Thats part of what I mentioned in my original comment, although its not really as obvious as a “form” change, and is currently accelerating in its effects on our weather patterns and general climate.
Look, I know that UA-cam comment conversations don’t go anywhere generally, so I’ll keep this as short as I can:
There is a lag effect between scientist’s climate models and actual reality, and that lag effect is one of the many “killers” in this climate crisis. Truth is, even if we cut all greenhouse gas emissions right now (which is not possible and won’t happen), the runaway emissions that we have been chucking into the atmosphere for decades now will continue to circulate, and therefore continue to raise the temperature worldwide, as well as in oceans, etc. And in this scenario, we would still see massive repercussions.
Google is giving you lip service. Its a fantastic step in the right direction, but albeit a step misplaced and too late. Action on the climate is something that should have occurred decades upon decades ago, and because of constant neglect by world leaders, we are instead facing the dire consequences right now...and it will only get worse in the years to come..
Ive not even mentioned the in’s and out’s of the massive slew of agricultural issues and famine, societal dilemma, mass migrations, collapse possibilities that go along with this topic...
Not trying to demean you man, but just giving you my reasoning...
Endless growth will save us! There is no alternative! There is NO alternative! Thank you google!

Out in the country we use cardboard as a soil mulch with leaves on top around our vegetables, trees, and shrubs (blueberries, yum!). Please pass the word to companies to begin using tapes and other packaging that are bio degradable so we can use this cardboard without eventual pollution of our soil. We have no recycling out here, so if we can turn things, not just tapes, into compost or mulch to eventually turn to compost, it will cut way back on the rubbish heaps we have in the country. We drive 15 miles to the store and it would be nice to have more degradable packaging of all sorts. Thanks for passing this along.
