    I suppose you could assign portions of carbon emissions from the company overall based on portions of shares owned. Shrug

      Not really, unless you’re going to assign it to the people who use those services too. Amazon wouldn’t produce any waste if people didn’t buy their products and services. So you’re just back at the collective human footprint again. Their yachts, jets, mega-mansions, and other personal things should be counted separately than their businesses.
