A recent investigation by ITV found that Amazon, one of the world’s largest and richest companies, was purposely destroying thousands of perfectly good items such as laptops, hoovers, hairdryers, i-Pads, clothes and even unused PPE. Many of these discarded items end up in landfill. Amazon’s decision to destroy goods could be based on a premise that it is cheaper to destroy things rather than keep them in a warehouse or even donate them to charities and people who need them. We are in a climate emergency and such senseless waste is damaging to the environment and the health of our planet. Greenpeace have launched a petition which has already been signed by over 200,000 people calling on Amazon to clean up its act. We urge you to speak against Amazon’s waste and sign the petition at Amazon: Next Day Destruction (greenpeace.org.uk)
