Former EPA Chief Lisa Jackson to Join Apple

Lisa Jackson, former head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, is joining Apple.

Jackson left the EPA at the end of 2012, after a four-year term in office, aiming to enact large-scale changes to address climate change and other problems with the environment on a national and global level. But Jackson’s tenure was cut short as she stepped down amid a secretive e-mail scandal, in which she admitted to conducting official private EPA business under a false e-mail alias. Jackson will ostensibly help Apple in dealing with the company’s effects on the environment in its manufacturing and product practices, an area of intense scrutiny for the company in recent years. “
