But again, this is what people *love* about AMZN. They can get whatever they want (even if they only slightly want it) whenever they want it, and they can get it fast. And to do that requires major resources.

If you want AMZN to have less of an impact on the climate, it's going to mean a lot more than basic gestures like not serving meat in the cafeteria or adding recycle bins in the hallway. And that will likely affect consumer satisfaction.

AMZN's unsustainability is more dependent upon our societal obsession with instant gratification, externalizing costs, and greater consumption-driven economy than their own business practices. But that's a whole other ball of wax.

And lest I come across like I'm throwing stones in glass houses, I'm as guilty of this as we all are.

Bottom line: more power to you to try and build an #AMZNclimate culture. But I wonder if consumers, and the market, will let you. And if you, as Amazon employees and presumably shareholders(if not, oof), are willing to take the haircut necessary to do so.

The market is shifting; the carbon bubble pop is inevitable & it won't be pretty. Companies not planning for rapidly transitioning off of fossil fuels are putting themselves at risk. Central bankers, fund managers, global investors are raising the alarm.https://twitter.com/AlexSteffen/status/1120207762779099136 …
