So proud of the team that made @Amazon Met Park a reality! By implementing new sustainability practices in the design & construction, we eliminated the use of fossil fuels for daily operations - and Met Park will run with zero operational carbon emissions.

Those radical hippy, lentil-weaving, eco-commies at the *checks notes* Office for Budgetary Responsibility have concluded it'll cost a lot more to remain reliant on fossil fuels than it'll cost to decarbonise. businessgreen.com/news/4120176/o…

Earlier this year, I was able to meet one of my personal heroes, Dr. Jane Goodall, a woman who has inspired me for many years. She shows us that everyone can make a difference – especially the strong women leaders in this world. #InternationalWomensDay2024
