Amazon’s Post

🆕 Huge news! We just met our 100% renewable energy goal… seven years early. 🤯 How did we get there? We bought more solar and wind power than any other company in the world for four years running. We invested billions of dollars, and we now have enabled 500+ solar and wind projects globally, and can generate enough energy to power the equivalent of more than 7.6 million U.S. homes. Thank you to all the incredibly dedicated and innovative minds that helped us move fast on this. ☀️ 💨 We also dropped our 2023 Sustainability Report yesterday, so if you want to learn more about Amazon's sustainability journey, check it out. ➡️ https://amzn.to/3XYmYMx

♻️ Huge update on our path to reduce plastic packaging. We’ve officially replaced 95% of the plastic air pillows from delivery packaging in North America with paper filler. With this shift, we’ll avoid nearly 15 BILLION plastic air pillows every year. That means for Prime Day next month, nearly all our deliveries won't come with plastic air pillows. The filler paper that replaces them is curbside recyclable. ♻️ 🌍 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gwMRNeQC
