Will you guys bitch about their tax break after they do this Just asking

All these mouth breathers believing the earth will be dead in a decade. It’s truly sad and disheartening.

Now talk about China and India. The numbers don’t lie. Even if America went to 0 carbon emissions today, the total calculated affect wouldn’t be more than 5% of a difference globally...

You can do more

What a joke

Find workers healthcare, do not cut back benefits to fund ventures!!

Guess that's why he cut insurance from whole food employees? Sad and pathetic from a guy that doesnt have to pay taxes

2040 too long, too late.

How is electricity generated? Where do the elements for the batteries come from? How much corporate welfare for buying electric vehicles? What type of energy is needed to manufacture them?🤔

What about the tons of plastic they send out into the world on a daily basis?

i’m not sure they understand where electricity comes from. unless it’s wind, solar or nuclear, it’s not renewable energy

Hahaha....this is how big organizations use sold-out pathetic media to drive the narrative... Real story : just think of all the shipping boxes and the pollution from the transportation. But use media to change narrative and people will drool over it..

He should treat his employees like human beings first.

So happy to read about this today of all ClimateStrike days!

While paying his employees peanut wages!

AWS on renewable? That's impressive

Hey Climate Change Nut cases, 100,000 electric vans? Do your research, electric vehicles carbon footprints are HIGHER then traditional fossil fuel vehicles! They require fossil fuel to recharge and batteries create TOXINS that contaminate ground water!

Pay your workers first

We will save this planet in spite of the leaders.....

Meanwhile their employees can’t afford food and have to go on financial assistance. Poverty wages are a result of businesses putting profits before people.

It’s a start. We’ll see if it actually comes to fruition. I don’t trust them.

Are those vans made of non carbon liberal fairy dust?

I mean, that’s great BUT you also have employees you could invest some money into as well, maybe give them better health insurance? JustSayin

The free market provides.

Well that’s not good enough for Democrats they want to eliminate all fossil fuel usage. Good luck making those batteries

Electricity is not renewable unless it comes from hydro or solar. Most parts of the country is dirty coal fueling electric plants. Would rather see Amazon invest in hydrogen fuel cells and help build a national infrastructure!

They should strap Bezos to the front of the electric van like Mad Max.

This is just to cover up for taking away health insurance coverage

How about also pledging to provide affordable, comprehensive health insurance to all employees? That would be sharing profits and helping the community

They can do that tomorrow improve work conditions and provide healthcare, they can do all of the right now and still make bank. Hold them accountable. Bezossucks

They're buying them from Rivian

Then why take insurance away from their employees? Sounds like a PR stunt

Yes if he could get some more elves to exploit he should be on his way ...

But all your employees will be dead?

And what is 'Trump' doin? Makin plans to 'Golf'!!!!!!

2040? Let's see... by then Amazon should be owned by Jeff's grandchild... ok most of us don't use Amazon as we know how to walk into a store ourselves.

They’re making Soylent Green from less productive workers.

too late bezos, u should have done this years earlier.

but will amazon pay its workers livable wages and health insurance? TaxTheRich

While cutting workers health insurance...Jeff Bezos has become a Bond villian...

Maybe before they do that they could give back the health insurance that they are taking away from their employees

Amazon loves renewables and hates providing healthcare.

Thus ensuring a future where he can continue to deprive his employees their health insurance. Fantastic.

He will need a LOT of electricity to charge them. Start building the wind mills, Quixote!

How much money is enough, Jeff. Pay the workers a living wage, give them health i insurance, parental leave, etc. Be the model of fairness and compassion.

Stand with Thompson in the war on climate crisis. Starting on day one will begin converting every home and Business to solar power and only EV cars will be sold in America

How about just giving people health insurance

Leading from behind, but I’ll take it. ClimateStrike

20 fucking years them mofos are slow
