Amazon is actively helping fossil fuel companies “churn out more oil.” I documented our romance with oil and gas companies and why it matters here: 3/nhttps://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1104218682253729792 …
Link to our (@AMZNforClimate) open letter to Bezos about our climate plan:

Yeah, and that 100% renewable energy commitment from Amazon?
It's meaningless without a date.
Every Amazon employee is expected to have DATES for our projects and launches.
As @AlexSteffen says: winning slowly is the same thing as losing with the climate crisis.

By inaction I didn't mean that Amazon is doing literally nothing. 6/n
Amazon is VERY FAR from responding to the climate crisis at the scale or urgency it requires. Of showing *meaningful* action and climate leadership. Given our size and scale, what we are doing is wholly inadequate, which I address in this thread: 7/nhttps://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1131423085708505088 …
.@Khanoisseur brought up Amazon's recent wind projects.
Whoo boy, for a fuller understanding of Amazon's relationship with our wind and solar projects, read @bcmerchant:

Our letter also put into context Amazon's much-touted "solar projects." Spoiler: they're teeny weeny compared to our massive carbon footprint. Considering commitments our peers have made (Walmart, Google, Microsoft, Apple), it's embarrassing. 9/n
"Our sustainability goals lack context. For example, we’ve set a goal of at least 50 solar installations in warehouse facilities by 2020. This represents only 6% of buildings in our global fulfillment network and a fraction of our overall carbon footprint." 10/n
In addition to all of this, Amazon fails to see climate as a strategic driver of both risks and opportunities. Or to understand that climate poses *significant* financial risk, which I wrote about here: /ENDhttps://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1119687611667193856 …
1/One more thing. Amazon's ability to be a transformative force for change is exciting. We could drive change at "all of supply chain, last mile, and third party sellers." We could change whole industries. That's huge! Thread:https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1131710529590910976 …
