Jeff Bezos announces Amazon's 'Climate Pledge', promising to cut emissions and pushing other companies to follow suit - GeekWire

Panzer was washing the Panzermobile windshield (windscreen) when he discovered a post shoved under the wiper blade. Smoothing it out, our traveling kitty pilot discovered it was a GeekWire post about Amazon and the climate crisis.

Electric vans! Wind farms! Solar farms!

According to Lisa Shiffler's post, on September 19 Jeff Bezos announced Amazon will be carbon neutral within 21 years. The company is purchasing 100,000 electric delivery vans. The vans will begin deliveries in 2021. The company plans to get 80 percent of it's energy from renewable sources within 5 years. Amazon is already building wind farms and solar power farms. The post includes a lot more information on Amazon's future plans to address the climate crisis. The post also includes links to the Paris Agreement and other sites.

Panzer says, "Amazon's announcement came the day before the Global Climate Strike."
