The transport sector is the fastest growing source of global greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.

Increased reliance on online shopping is one of the key drivers, and has resulted in a massive uptick in the movement of goods across oceans and through our communities on fossil-fueled vessels and vehicles.

Shipping — whether marine, air, or land — is polluting our waters, streets, and lungs, and making our communities sick. Corporations like Amazon and Walmart are making logistics choices every day that result in real harm to our communities, while raking in record breaking profits.

With our research and hard-hitting campaigns, Stand.earth is exposing the hidden health and environmental costs of corporations’ fossil-fueled shipping. We are holding those corporations accountable for reducing pollution at key intervention points along the shipping supply chain.

Corporations are some of the wealthiest and most powerful entities in the world. Our work can move them to step up to protect families, communities, and the climate. Clean air and public health aren’t for sale. Together, we can move the major e-commerce delivery companies like Amazon and Walmart to commit to zero emissions shipping by 2030.
