I can't stop thinking about what Bezos has done to the Washington Post. But I also don't know why I & anyone else is shocked. I went undercover in an Amazon 'fulfilment centre' in 2013 and saw first-hand exactly who Bezos is.
We have all been SO naive.

The cost of reaching net zero isn’t just affordable—it’s a bargain. For the equivalent of £5 a month for someone on an average wage, we could achieve a liveable future.
The CCC is clear: the technologies are ready, the benefits are real, and the time to act is now.
