    Orphan's Own old timey orphan crushing machines.

    "If it ain't Orphan's Own, don't crush an orphan with it!"

    And just look what the people have to say...

    "For us, it's always been orphan's own or nothing, it takes longer, sure, but we'd rather just let those sad little fucker's starve if we can't crush them with the best machine"

    The name is disgusting and malicious greenwashing.

    For the company's 2019 annual general meeting (AGM), 28 Amazon employees filed a shareholder proposal asking the company to create a climate change plan; over 7,500 Amazon workers signed a letter in support of the proposals. Shareholders voted it down. In advance of a September 2019 tech industry walkout to protest inaction towards climate change, over 1,500 Amazon employees called for the company to commit to achieve zero emissions by 2030, among other asks. The day before the walkout, Amazon made a climate pledge which included being carbon neutral by 2040.
