A blatant example of corporate greenwashing.
Most major US companies have expressed concern about the climate crisis or announced their own greenhouse gas reduction targets. Jeff Bezos, one of the world’s richest people, has declared the climate crisis to be “the greatest threat to our planet” and the company he founded, Amazon, has created a pledge for companies to reduce their emissions to zero by 2040. Microsoft has pledged to be “carbon neutral” within ten years, and Disney aims to use only renewable electricity within the same timeframe. But these leading companies, and others, are actively supporting or leading the lobby groups trying to sink the bill.
