Despite Jeff Bezos' announcement for plans to make Amazon carbon neutral by 2040, nearly 1,000 employees are set to walk out in protest Friday of what they say is their company's inaction on climate change

The collective, known as"Amazon Employees for Climate Justice," said in a news release Thursday that while the"Climate Pledge" is a win for the group — it's not enough."The Paris Agreement, by itself, won't get us to a livable world," the group said."Today, we celebrate. Tomorrow, we'll be in the streets to continue the fight for a livable future.

"Amazon is one of the world's most innovative companies," the group said."We pride ourselves on being a leader. But in the face of the climate crisis, a true leader is one who reaches zero emissions first, not one who slides in at the last possible moment."In a response to the Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, the company told CNN Business that reducing human-made climate change is an"important commitment.

Ppl don’t know a thing this phony climate change is to take more money from the ppl. They believe in fake science that numbers were fudged. They don’t believe a fetus is a live baby. They pick & choose , joke lol

Just means the solar panels and wind turbines on roofs of the warehouses will power a d charge the robots and drones, and driverless vans and gone will be the days of humans working for amazon.

Good for them. Speak truth to power. You won’t be paid for protesting. Seems pretty simple.

Looks like Amazon is going to have 1000 job openings.

I hope they all get fired.
