🏅It's #CleanAirDay so we honor our favorite corporate polluter: @amazon

Last year, Amazon's own numbers showed its emissions jumped double digits. That's like the world’s largest plane (A380 w 853 passengers) flying from London to Boston. 83,868 times.

But these emissions are *just* from Amazon brand products, which make up only 1% of products on Amazon dot com.

If all others produced similar levels, the total impact of Amazon on our air would be what the A380 would emit flying London to Boston... over 8 million times.

These emissions aren't just numbers. They show up in notoriously underserved communities where environmental injustice is already wreaking havoc on health. In Newark where communities successfully beat back #NoSecretHub, 1 in 4 children has asthma.
