A day before 1,550 Amazon workers are set to strike over the company’s carbon footprint, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced a new climate pledge with the goal of reaching the Paris climate accord goals 10 years early.

Friday’s strike will mark the first time white collar Amazon workers have walked out in the company’s history. Amazon employees are demanding that the company eliminate its carbon footprint by 2030, end custom contracts with oil and gas companies, and refuse funding from climate denying lobbyists. The action organized by Amazon Employees for Climate Justice has inspired Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Twitter employees to plan their own walkouts.
