More than 3,500 Amazon employees have signed a letter urging the e-commerce giant to take action on climate change, adding to growing activism by technology workers directed at their companies.

The letter, published Wednesday on the blogging platform Medium, calls for Amazon to publicly detail how it plans to handle disruption brought on by climate change and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.

"Amazon has the resources and scale to spark the world’s imagination and redefine what is possible and necessary to address the climate crisis. We believe this is a historic opportunity for Amazon to stand with employees and signal to the world that we’re ready to be a climate leader," the group wrote.

A smaller group of Amazon employees and shareholders made a similar call in December.

Find some NEW power sources...maybe like the original sources of fossil fuels! Just look at the environmentally friendly conveyor belt on the left side for a good idea.

Amazon should not allow its workers to drive cars to work.

Since they believe human beings raise temperatures by their very existence, why don’t they just go to Oregon and commit suicide? Do your bit, people.

They should turn off the electricity at Amazon headquarters buildings just for a week or so—that would be fun to watch.

Turn off your servers. Stop selling any product that has a positive carbon footprint. I’m just sayin’

It’s a company that’s in business to make money, not to save the world.

It’s only 20 miles.
That’s the “Wannabe Line”.
Now, they can be.

Just spent five hours on I-5 and observed Amazon Prime trucks like every 10 minutes going South from Bay Area. How does a “to your door” distributor accomplish what they are demanding without driving the company bankrupt? Typical Liberal “pie in the sky”.
