This sounds good but look deeper: the subtext is that their commitment to using zero carbon sources is dependent on customer demand. To our market besotted minds that seems reasonable but the velocity of the problem is far greater than this.

The moment DHL started delivering parcels with electric cars Amazon started delivering with their own subcontractors. They now come with old and shitty vans. I've stopped ordering things from Amazon since then or at least reduced to an absolute minimum.

What I find awkward is that often times I am reading the reviews on Amazon and then ordering somewhere else. But since their servers are also dirty I shouldn't even look there.

Yes and in general Amazon doesn't have any ethics and moral. They say they are customer driven. But this doesn't make it any better.

No it doesn't but you know where you stand: as a customer, if you don't say anything AWS are just going to do the cheapest thing. They are completely amoral.

Amazon does have morals, but any org that operates globally can’t match the morals of every community they operate in. Morality isn’t absolute and it changes over time.

No company, as an entity, to has "morals". That's not a meaningful phrase in this context. Also, we aren't talking about "morals", we're talking about

I do understand the "global company" argument. However
#ClimateChange is a globally accepted scientific consensus and while Amazon has made some steps forward, which I do applaud, they could do *so* much more without consequence and without being told to by their customers.2 replies 0 retweets 6 likes -

My argument & frustration, as an ex-AWS employee too, is that AWS spends a lot of time focusing on customer requests and quite rightly. However I see
#ClimateChange in a different category. I would argue the choices Amazon/AWS are making, and speed of making them, are unethical.1 reply 0 retweets 5 likes -

agree. It boggles my mind that Amazon leadership doesn’t see how outraged customers will be in the near future with this immoral and unethical this business practice.https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1185954304961609733?s=21 …Emily Cunningham added,
Emily Cunningham @emahleeAmazon is being criticized over our lack of morality on climate and the response is, “morality isn’t absolute and it changes over time.” Oy. What is crystal clear is that by helping Big Oil discover and extract oil and gas, we are knowingly accelerating the climate crisis. https://twitter.com/adrianco/status/1185939559319666688 …1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes
