Hi,

Publicly, Amazon has touted its plan to be carbon neutral by 2040, but in practice they’ve increased carbon emissions by 40% since 2019.1

Amazon will continue to say one thing and then do another for as long as they can get away with it. That’s why it’s up to activists like you and me to speak up and hold them accountable.

Every tentacle of Amazon’s operations are carbon-dirty. From their fleet of delivery trucks, to their warehouses and their vast array of server farms. But it may be even worse than we think!

Amazon has made a practice of copying the goods that small businesses sell on their platform and then offering them for a cheaper price as part of the Amazon Basics brand. That’s everything from tupperware to luggage to batteries. But that also means Amazon has massive global supply chains to manufacture these “cheaper” products, and each one has their own carbon emissions.2

Instead of diligently working to meet environmental goals that Amazon set for itself, they’re increasing carbon emissions and adding to the climate change crisis that’s impacting the entire planet.

Amazon says they want to be carbon neutral by 2040 but they haven’t done enough to get there. What they’re actually doing is the opposite: increasing their carbon emissions, and hoping no one cares enough to notice.

That’s not going to work anymore. It’s time for you and me to speak up and hold Amazon to their own climate commitments.

Sign the petition: Tell Amazon to radically reduce their carbon emissions!

Thanks for taking action,

Tihi and the team at Demand Progress
