Amazon has promised to achieve 100 percent use of renewable energy sources, the company announced on Wednesday, without specifying when this will happen, since the project could take several years.
The company has even announced its commitment to stop relying on non-renewable energy sources. According to the list of the “dirtiest companies” on the planet, Amazon is one of the most polluting. This list was published by Greenpeace.
Amazon and other companies for the green Internet.
Apple, Google, and Facebook have promised to use renewable energy sources for their huge data centers and that they will use wind and solar energy.
The Seattle-based tech giant took the first step three years ago when it launched its first carbon-free datacenter. Greenpeacesays it could be the first step toward a green Internet. Apple and Google have already outlined plans to phase out their carbon-based energy sources, but Amazon is still far behind. While it’s moving in the right direction, it still has a long way to go to earn a place in the green lobby of “clean companies.”
