Every day, we must do our part to protect our planet from the impacts of climate change, and technology has an important role to play.

This Earth Day, like every Earth Day, I am taking the time to reflect on what we all need to do to protect and sustain Earth’s natural systems. What is unique this year is that I am doing it in person with my team for the first time in a long time.  
  
Collaboration is an essential part of solving our climate crisis: sharing data, creating space for the connections that lead to innovations, and rallying around a common mission and goal. At Microsoft, it is something we are keenly focused on with our employees, our customers, and our partners.  
  
Today, my team is together, and we will take a breath of fresh air, and continue the hard work needed to fulfill our commitments of being carbon negative, water positive and zero waste by 2030 all while protecting more land than we use and building a Planetary Computer.
