# Sustainability by the numbers

*See how Amazon is working toward a sustainable future.*

In preparation for Earth Day, we’ve gathered some facts and figures that we’re proud of as we work to build a sustainable future.

We provide answers to [your most frequent questions](https://sustainability.aboutamazon.com/our-approach/frequently-asked-questions) about Amazon’s commitment to sustainability.

We're supporting 16 national and international sustainability [partnerships and initiatives](https://sustainability.aboutamazon.com/our-approach/partnerships).

We have a goal to install solar systems on 50 fulfillment facility rooftops worldwide by 2020.

More than 55% of Amazonians in Seattle commute to work without a car.

Our [wind farm in Texas](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/sustainability/our-largest-wind-farm-yet-amazon-wind-farm-texas) has 110 wind turbines, our largest wind farm to date.

Our fulfillment center in Tracy, California has 11,700 solar panels – part of [our commitment](https://blog.aboutamazon.com/sustainability/powering-a-clean-future) to installing 50 solar rooftops globally by 2020.

Over a three-month period, more than 20,000 Amazonians working at our fulfillment centers across North America helped us improve packaging by using our [packaging feedback button](https://blog.aboutamazon.com/sustainability/reducing-packaging-waste-one-order-at-a-time).

More than 25,000 plants have been woven into our [living wall](https://blog.aboutamazon.com/sustainability/bringing-the-spheres-green-walls-to-life) in The Spheres – a lush garden of biodiversity in downtown Seattle, where we’re helping conserve several species of endangered plants. 

Over a 25-year period, our [district energy](https://blog.aboutamazon.com/sustainability/the-super-efficient-heat-source-hidden-below-amazons-new-headquarters) heat recycling project in Seattle will save 80 million kilowatt hours of electricity.
