Ex-EPA chief Jackson enjoying life outside 'Washington bubble'

摘要

Lisa Jackson is digging her new life in the San Francisco Bay Area. The former U.S. EPA administrator left the Obama administration -- and Washington, D.C. -- last year to take a job as Apple's vice president of environmental initiatives at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. It's been a big change for Jackson, 52, who spent four years in one of the most controversial positions in the federal government. "It's a very, very different environment outside the Washington bubble, and I think it's really important to be outside of it, and I'm just really enjoying it," she said yesterday in an interview. Jackson has kept a low profile since getting the new gig but spoke with media outlets this week to mark Earth Day by touting Apple's environmental record.
