    Electricity does not magically generate via outlet walls. If Amazon is really concern about carbon footprints STOP being mammoths and let the local businesses in the local community serve the people. Climate change is normal mother earth does not need saving stop the bs. We all going to die and earth will continue to thrive without fear-mongering.

    what kind of package initiatives tho? and “research into understanding how e-commerce is truly more sustainable as a business model” sounds like “we’re working on finding justifications to not do anything”. You have to do MORE Amazon.
