The company said it effectively got all of the electricity it used last year from sources that did not produce greenhouse gas emissions. Some experts have faulted the company’s calculations.
Amazon fired Emily Cunningham for pushing the company to give a shit about its emissions.
Only after that did they whip up their “climate pledge” and buy the rights to name a hockey arena after that pledge.
Emily and others successfully organized an employee protest at a shareholder meeting in favor of a shareholder resolution around emissions and climate. I’ll never forget when she stood up and nervously started reading the resolution, when about half the room (all amazon employees, all wearing white shirts) stood up in solidarity with her. Jeff was backstage. He ignored her calls to step out and respond.
I will never in my life trust a damn thing Amazon says about their own impacts to climate or the environment (or really anything at all)
