AMAZON, PLEASE SAVE THE AMAZON!

Amazon, please save the Amazon. In a rare public rebuke, more than 5,200 Amazon employees have signed a letter imploring the company to adopt a more comprehensive climate policy. In the letter, they call out the company’s hazily-worded sustainability goals and its contributions to climate-denying politicians. They insist that Amazon commit to specific, public goals and transition completely away from fossil fuels by 2050. Also on the priority list: fair treatment of all employees during adverse weather events and foregrounding climate impact in business decisions.
