Amazon tackles climate change
On Thursday, Jeff Bezos laid out a very ambitious plan for his company to combat climate change. He pledged that Amazon will meet the sustainability goals of the United Nations Paris Agreement 10 years early and will be measuring and reporting on the company’s emissions on a regular basis. Bezos says that he expects 80 percent of Amazon’s energy use to come form renewable sources by 2024. He also announced a big first step towards this lofty goal – the purchase of 100,000 electric delivery vans – which will start hitting the road by 2021.
California Governor signs gig worker bill into law
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed AB-5, a much discussed gig worker protections bill, into law. The bill aims to make sure that gig economy workers are getting minimum wage, workers’ compensation and other benefits. Not surprisingly, the bill is wildly unpopular with tech companies like Uber that are reliant on these workers. For more on that, check out Leslie’s blog from last week.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
