Amazons's carbon footprint, 2018:
44.40 million metric tons [1]
Average American carbon footprint:
16 tons [2]
Now, I'm sure there's some inaccuracy here, and it's a bit of a stretch to say Bezos is personally responsible for all of Amazon's emissions, but he's pretty clearly in the same order of magnitude as having a million times the carbon emissions of the average American.

- ghostwriter 6y agoAmazon literally serves those average americans, why the carbon footprint is on Amazon's account? It would hardly produce any footprint if there were no people ordering stuff.
- heavyset_go 6y agoAmazon serves Amazon's board and shareholders. Also, many Americans are priced out of Amazon entirely, as it is cheaper to shop elsewhere.
