https://www.wired.com/story/amazon-climate-pledge-employee-walkout/ > Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos unveiled a new set of programs designed to reduce the company’s carbon footprint Thursday, including purchasing 100,000 electric trucks. The announcement comes just one day before at least 1,550 Amazon workers plan to walk out over what they say is an inadequate response to the climate crisis. Bezos’ promises fall short of the demands laid out by his employees, but they are still significant—especially for a corporation that has been criticized for failing behind other tech giants on environmental initiatives. > “We want to use our scale and our scope to lead the way,” Bezos said at an event at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Thursday, according to news reports. “One of the things we know about Amazon as a role model for this is that it’s a difficult challenge for us because we have deep, large physical infrastructure. So, if we can do this, anyone can do this.”
