= Mozilla's Climate Commitment and Activities = | |||
We can’t save the planet without people. | |||
We understand that the internet is an incredibly powerful tool to help us draw the attention to what needs to happen. | |||
The first line of order is that Mozilla assumes responsibility for its greenhouse gas emissions: We will reduce our emissions significantly and mitigate what we can’t avoid. We will share what we learn and lead transparently, supporting others on their journeys and continuously exploring ways to increase the resiliency of our communities. | |||
