Amazon Says Its Planet-Warming Carbon Emissions Grew 18% in 2021


The world's largest online retailer emitted 71.54 million metric tons of carbon-dioxide equivalent last year, Amazon disclosed on Monday in an updated edition of its sustainability report. That's up about 40% since the company first disclosed the figure, with data from 2019. Amazon's carbon intensity -- a measure that divides its emissions by gross merchandise sales -- fell 1.9%, an indication of the company's success in delivering products and running its warehouses, data centers and offices more efficiently. Amazon aims to become a "net zero" emitter of greenhouse gases by 2040.

i read about this and saw some comments that this lowered net carbon emission because less people are driving to the store for stuff. there was no actual source to confirm that so could be BS.
