The company began its event citing how the Kindle sparked a true sustainable revolution. According to Amazon, readers of Kindle in the USA were responsible for savings of 2,6 million metric tons of CO?, which results from the choice of e-books rather than physical books, which need to be printed.

And that's roughly equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions of more than 550.000 enger cars driven in a year.

It was also announced that by 2025 the investment in wind and solar parks will be carried out, where in the manufacture of Fire TV e Call, next to the line Echo, more than 5 million megawatt-hours of sustainable energy are expected to be produced.

This is focused so that the products have the lowest possible consumption and, of course, energy costs are lower during periods of inactivity. THE Amazon mentioned that this new feature will be available for at least 50% of all launches in the line Echo e Fire TV until the end of 2021. This is also valid for the new Echo Show 15, presented today, as well as the Fire TV Stick 4K Max.
