“How will we tell our children that we knew we had such a small window to leave fossil fuels in the ground?” Watch this Amazon employee confront Jeff Bezos over inaction on climate changepic.twitter.com/yqsb6YZEbe

It's also dishonest for Amazon to have a goal of "100% renewable energy" without a date, especially when timelines determine the amount of devastation in a rapidly warming climate. 1.5 vs 2 degrees... even half a degree warming threatens the lives of tens of millions of people.
Our peers are showing much more leadership: Walmart set a goal to be powered by 50% renewable sources by 2025, and has currently achieved 28% of that. Microsoft pledged to cut emissions by 75% by 2030.

Amazon is VERY FAR from responding to the climate crisis at the scale or urgency it requires. Of showing *meaningful* action and climate leadership. What we are doing is wholly inadequate.

From our open letter: "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."
