Also, Apple TV+ subscribers can enjoy streaming the newly premiered "The Year Earth Changed" documentary and new seasons of "Tiny World" and "Earth At Night In Color."
Apple will place apps that target sustainable shopping, food waste reduction, and donations in a Today App Store story. The new story, Apple hopes, will encourage people to donate to different causes and "find a wealth of information on how to make a positive environmental impact."
On Apple Music, Apple will highlight "earth-inspired music" such as "Sounds of Nature" and a "Mixtape for Mother Earth" playlist. Apple Music will also feature a "special editorial space that features a peaceful soundscape of the seven continents and exclusive motion covers."
Remaining in the audio space, Apple Podcasts will offer content and shows that provide "insight and education on environmental issues, providing inspiration for active participation in the fight against climate change and underscoring the power and importance of nature itself." Apple on its home page also shared a video where highlighting its environmental goals for the coming decade.
Additional new content will include special new curated guides within Apple Maps in partnership with the National Park Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, Red Tricycle, Culture Trip, FATMAP, and Lonely Planet. Apple Watch owners can also earn a special Earth Day Award by completing a 30-minute work on Earth Day.
