Just one year after setting a goal to fulfill all its energy needs from renewables, Google has announced that it has already fulfilled that goal.

While Google is ahead of the pack when it comes to sustainability, Amazon isn’t too far behind. In fact, Amazon is currently building its own massive wind farm in Texas.
