🧵On sustainable traveling
🚗💨In Europe, road transportation is the largest source of carbon emissions throughout Europe (according to @StatistaCharts)
↘️There are 3 ways to reduce carbon emissions on the road, and at Google we want to maximise all of them.

Reducing food waste is an important way we can limit carbon emissions and keep our planet healthy. We're pledging to cut Google's food waste in half, and send zero food waste to landfill by 2025.

One of the most powerful tools we have to fight climate change is market transparency - and today @Google is adding more firepower. By supporting @FSB_TCFD, they will help investors and companies better understand climate-related risks and opportunities.
We believe that transparent reporting of climate-related matters is an important complement to the substantive actions we are taking to mitigate climate change. Today, we are formally expressing our support for the TCFD reporting framework. abc.xyz/investor/news/releas…

We applaud @POTUS's quick action on COVID relief, the Paris Climate Accord, and immigration reform. Google has supported action on these important issues & we look forward to working with the new administration to help the US recover from the pandemic + grow our economy.
