BILL WEIR, CNN CHIEF CLIMATE CORRESPONDENT: Greta Thunberg, the Swedish girl who inspired so much. She said she was in a deep depression when she understood the warnings of science but turned that depression into action. You see the result here today.</s>ERICA HILL, CNN HOST: Quite a number of folks out there, Bill, appreciate it in Seattle, as we mentioned Scott McLean is out there on the West Coast, what are you seeing, what are you hearing from folks on the ground there?</s>SCOTT MCLEAN, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Hey, Erica, I'll let you have a look at the crowd. Organizers say there are 1,700 Amazon employees here at minimum. A lot of these folks don't work for Amazon. So the number is probably higher than that. Just talking to some folks in the crowd, some people have the blessing of their boss to be here, many have taken vacation days and some say they are just taking a really long lunch. There's one sign over there that says, "Amazon, big footprint equals big responsibility." And the reality is, that Amazon is a massive polluter. It takes a lot of carbon in order to move things all across the country. One employee told me that she believes that the planet would be better off without Amazon in it. That said, the company just announced a pretty ambitious climate plan yesterday involving buying 100,000 electric delivery vans and to try to become carbon neutral by the year 2040. But some employees especially the folks here say that is still not good enough. They want the company to stop donating to politicians who deny the climate science and they also want the company to stop using their technology to help oil and gas companies, something that CEO Jeff Bezos said flat out he will not do -- Erica.</s>HILL: All right, Scott McLean there live for us in Seattle. Thank you both. Senator Bernie Sanders speaking at a climate protest today in Greensboro, North Carolina, not just talking about climate though, he's also on the attack against Joe Biden. This is other candidates we're are really seeing them go after Elizabeth Warren. So what does this all tell us about the 2020 race? That's next.
