On Monday, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos revealed on Instagram a $10 billion “Earth Fund'' aimed at fighting climate change. As Amazon employees immediately pointed out, it’s not nearly enough to undo all the environmental harms that the tech giant enacts.

"Climate change is the biggest threat to our planet,” Bezos wrote on Instagram. “I want to work alongside others both to amplify known ways and to explore new ways of fighting the devastating impact of climate change on this planet we all share." The move follows months of protests from employees and threats to fire employees for speaking out about Amazon's climate policy.
