Why avoid Amazon.com?
Worker Abuse:
From white-collar workers at Amazon’s headquarters in Seattle to the vast network of temporary contractors who stock Amazon’s warehouses, Amazon has been accused of being “worse than Walmart” in terms of worker treatment.
Environmental Problems:
At the end of 2014, Amazon committed to move to renewable energy, however, it has yet to announce a deadline for this goal. Amazon, the largest cloud hosting company, is still stalling in terms of transparency, refusing to report its energy usage to the Carbon Disclosure Project.
Poor Corporate Citizenship:
Like many corporate behemoths, Amazon has a history of shielding profits overseas, and for years, it fought against charging sales tax on its products. These are just two ways that Amazon has benefited against brick and mortar companies and small businesses.
Choosing to spend money wisely, in ways that support our values, can have a major impact. This year, if you are shopping online for the holidays, consider one of these alternatives.
