Our goal for "100% renewable energy" doesn't have a date (!!) which makes it meaningless and is a textbook example of greenwashing.

Emily Cunningham @emahleeThis is important to unpack because Amazon will often throw around numbers that may seem impressive at the outset, put only because the numbers lack context making them hard to evaluate and easy for Amazon to use in greenwashing (ie justifying that they're doing enough). 2/Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -

Reflections on the open letter action "Amazon employees care deeply about the climate crisis. Seeing the outpouring of support has been very emotional for me.

The two largest proxy advisors to institutional investors sided with us
@AMZNforClimate on our climate shareholder resolution. They didn't buy Amazon's argument that we're doing enough. 10/https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1126931128105951233 …Emily Cunningham added,

Emily Cunningham @emahleeThe same will be true at@Amazon and Big Tech (ehem,@Google,@Microsoft) that actively partner with Big Oil by selling AI and data technologies to accelerate oil and gas discovery and extraction. Younger workers are pissed and don't want any part in burning down our world. 1/ https://twitter.com/wenkennedy/status/1157188812369534976 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -

Hundreds of Amazon tech workers sent messages of solidarity to FC workers striking in MN over Prime Day. We were appalled at the way our fellow workers are treated & stood in solidarity.
