This Thursday, members of the Greenpeace team were in rainy Seattle to take the #ClickClean message to a veryimportant audience: Amazon employees.
The Click Clean team greeted Amazon employees as they ventured outside after a morning rain to talk to them about the need for Amazon.com and its Amazon Web Services (AWS) division to move towards renewable energy for its data centers joining Apple, Google, and other internet giants in the race to build a greener internet. To help deliver this message, we gave employees special “Amazon Web Services Green” coffee mugs with free coffee and a secret message.
When employees pour hot coffee or tea to their new mugs, they magically revealed the question: Why Isn’t Amazon Web Services Green Yet? We hopethese mugs willspark some interesting conversation in the company cafeteria!
Frequently among the best of young tech recruits, employees at IT companies are often very concerned about theenvironment and want to make surethe company they work for is too. Theseemployees are critical allies in any efforts to get major internet companies to commit to renewable energy.
As we expected, the Amazon employees we talked to were also very supportive of thecampaignencouragingAmazon and AWS to go green andcommitto 100% renewable energy (like Facebook, Google, and Apple), and some even indicated there were discussions already going on inside the company.
