If you've got a hankering for an ice cream cone to cool off Friday, you won't be able to get one at Ben & Jerry's — at least for part of the day. The company, along with several other brands and retailers, will temporarily close its doors in support of the Global Climate Strike.
Dozens of brands like Lush, Patagonia, and Burton have announced they will be temporarily closing their businesses in solidarity with Thunberg and other young people striking for climate change. For 24 hours, Burton.com will not take orders or make any sales worldwide — the site will re-direct users to the Global Climate Strike website to help build awareness for the cause. In addition, all of their owned stores will be used as a community space for strikers.
She says that while it is encouraging to see some of the world's most powerful corporations — including JP Morgan Chase & Co, General Motors, and Amazon — acknowledge that they have responsibilities to the state of the environment, they must put their words into action. Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, the group behind the protest, lists three specific demands: zero emissions by 2030, zero custom Amazon Web Services for fossil fuel companies, and zero funding for climate politicians and lobbyists who deny climate change.
