Starbucks Gave Its CEO a Private
Jet While Climate Change Balloons and Workers Struggle
to Pay
Rent | | |
Starbucks recently decided to
give its new CEO, Brian Niccol, a private jet. That
way, he can easily, comfortably commute between his
California home and the company's Seattle
headquarters, without being forced to relocate
like other employees.
Meanwhile, the rest of
us are trying to fight climate change and push for a
greener future.
Private jets are
terrible for our planet. They release huge
amounts of carbon dioxide, which contributes to climate
change. In fact, private jets are 10x worse for
the environment compared to regular commercial
planes. Yet Starbucks dares to say it's working on being
more eco-friendly with things like new cups and less
plastic!
This decision also highlights a huge
economic gap between top executives and regular
employees. Niccol's compensation package includes a
$10 million signing bonus, a $1.6
million annual salary, and millions more based on
performance. Meanwhile, many Starbucks employees are
still struggling to make ends meet.
It doesn't
have to be this way, though. Legendary toymaker LEGO has
just made a very different set of decisions to improve
its sustainability metrics. In fact, this year,
LEGO announced that all bonuses would be tied
hitting the company's goals to reduce carbon
emissions.
Starbucks must follow
in LEGO's lead. It must invest in
fighting climate change by tying executive bonuses and
pay to sustainability goals, and also revoke this
ridiculous private jet offer. Sign the
petition now!
