Within a day of posting an open letter to Bezos and the company's board of directors to implement a company-wide plan to combat climate change, 5,237 Amazon employees signed the document, which was"Amazon has the resources and scale to spark the world’s imagination and redefine what is possible and necessary to address the climate crisis.
In an emailed statement to ABC News, an Amazon spokesperson wrote: “Earlier this year, we announced that we will share our company-wide carbon footprint, along with related goals and programs. We also announced Shipment Zero, our vision to make all Amazon shipments net zero carbon, with 50% of all shipments net zero by 2030. Amazon’s sustainability team is using a science-based approach to develop data and strategies to ensure a rigorous approach to our sustainability work.

Climate change is a liberal hoax and a tool to make Al Gore rich.
80% of the retail products found on Amazon are manufactured in nations that have absolutely no meaningful environmental regulations? How can a business model dependent on the absence of environmental laws be helpful in addressing climate change?

DO IT!!!!
Bullshit

Not get better wages? Working conditions?
