We are not sustainable

Amazon has 2040 as a target, not sure if that says they're being more honest or it's because they deal more in physical products. https://sustainability.aboutamazon.com/climate-solutions

I don't see how the links you've provided show that these companies are greenwashing anything.

I wish I could scroll on mobile. Great job on your web design.

No idea what your issue is, but I had no problems with the site on mobile.

I'm on mobile now. I'm using plain old chrome

> And neither is any other device maker. This industry is full of "feel good" messaging, but generates 50 million metric tons of e-waste each year.

And with my links it shows that these companies are doing feel-good messaging. I just thought I would call them out specifically.

The link in the article goes in depth on how far it is from sustainability for one part of their operation, despite trying harder than most https://frame.work/sustainability
