Using the iPhone as an example, Jackson said that it takes "51 cents to charge an iPhone everyday for a year in energy."</p> <p>Prior to joining Apple in her role in helping the company be more sustainable, Jackson served as the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, of the Obama Administration.</p> <p>Source: 9to5 Mac (http://9to5mac.com/2014/07/16/apple-environment-chief-lisa-jackson-speaks-at-apple-distinguished-educator-conference/)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-25784"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3c930d2e/sc/15/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheIphoneBlog/~4/1OHq72j0pOo" height="1" width="1"/>
