Today Amazon released its “Sustainability” report. Predictably, what it leaves out is vastly more important than what it says.

Amazon is building a dirty energy empire, spending literally hundreds of billions on data centers that will rely primarily on new fossil fuel infrastructure.

These Activists Are Right: The World Doesn’t Need Any More Private Jets Local activists in Massachusetts have taken on the private jet lobby—and they might just win.

Private jet infrastructure expansion is the height of denial during an era of climate collapse.

"Local activists in Massachusetts have taken on the private jet lobby—and they might just win."

Some governments protect people from the harms of corporate exploitation!

Good climate actions have to operate levers where force can be multiplied.

There's a serious argument to be made that making it hard to enjoy a Tesla is one of those levers.

Kinda similar to how wearing a fur coat got much less fun at a certain point and now people don't do it much.

The 1% fly luxe.
The 99% pay the price.

Did you know? Approximately 1% of people are believed to be responsible for about half of all aviation carbon emissions. Private jets in the United States also make up approximately 67% of all private jets worldwide.
