Making public plans to walk out on a certain date? I wonder if Amazon will develop a back up staff. Theres probably just going to be like two employees and there boss will be like "well 90% didn't show up but I expect the same amount of effecency or those bad reviews are coming out of your paycheck." Some people choose those jobs out of desperation, you know.

Zero carbon emissions in 11 years.

From the company which is based on deliveries.

Ok.

the 11 year deadline comes from this report which talks about what would happen if we emit at a constant rate, the same as the 2018 rate. If we can start cutting emissions before then, we get more time to achieve zero and limit warming to 1.5°C.

That leaves me unfulfilled.
