http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2016/08/cook_hero-250x286.pngApple CEO Tim Cook (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/tim-cook/) this after**on sent an email to Apple employees expressing his disappointment with U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to pull out of the Paris climate deal.

In the email, which was shared by BuzzFeed (https://www.buzzfeed.com/johnpaczkowski/read-apple-ceo-tim-cooks-email-to-employees-about-trump?utm_term=.raeJpepR6#.pepEowojN), Cook says that while he tried to persuade Trump (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/05/31/apple-ceo-tim-cook-trump-paris-climate-accord/) to keep the United States in the agreement, "it wasn't e**ugh." Cook goes on to reiterate Apple's commitment to reducing its environmental impact through renewable energy and an eventual closed-loop supply chain.Team,

I k**w many of you share my disappointment with the White House's decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement. I spoke with President Trump on Tuesday and tried to persuade him to keep the U.S. in the agreement. But it wasn't e**ugh.

Climate change is real and we all share a responsibility to fight it. I want to reassure you that today's developments will have ** impact on Apple's efforts to protect the environment. We power nearly all of our operations with renewable energy, which we believe is an example of something that's good for our planet and makes good business sense as well.

We will keep working toward the ambitious goals of a closed-loop supply chain, and to eventually stop mining new materials altogether. Of course, we're going to keep working with our suppliers to help them do more to power their businesses with clean energy. And we will keep challenging ourselves to do even more. K**wing the good work that we and countless others around the world are doing, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about our planet's future.

Our mission has always been to leave the world better than we found it. We will never waver, because we k**w that future generations depend on us.

Your work is as important today as it has ever been. Thank you for your commitment to making a difference every single day.

TimCook, who also shared his disappointment in a tweet (https://twitter.com/tim_cook/status/870439008316276736), was one of many tech leaders who attempted to persuade Trump **t to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement earlier this week, but on Thursday, the president an**unced that the United States will indeed withdraw from the accord. Since the an**uncement, tech company CEOs have been speaking out against the decision while pledging to continue to fight climate change.

Decision to withdraw from the #ParisAgreeement (https://twitter.com/hashtag/ParisAgreeement?src=hash) was wrong for our planet. Apple is committed to fight climate change and we will never waver.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said (https://www.recode.net/2017/6/1/15727122/mark-zuckerberg-trump-paris-agreement-statement) leaving the accord "puts our children's future at risk," while Google CEO Sundar Pichai said (https://twitter.com/sundarpichai/status/870386661321986048) he was disappointed with the decision. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who said yesterday (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/05/31/apple-ceo-tim-cook-trump-paris-climate-accord/) he had done all he could to advise the president to remain in the accord, made good on a promise (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/870369915894546432) to leave the advisory councils he served on.

Am departing presidential councils. Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is **t good for America or the world.
