This has some merit, as Bezos might decide he can do a good work for Amazon as well as for The Amazon with a small selectable field where customers can donate a small fee, that in the aggregate, might be large enough to make a difference if it is wisely and properly directed to the indigenes that have been screwed over by the diseases and 'bad manglement' delivered by the conquistadores, heirs/occupiers and their wide range of diseases. This fee must not be given to the ruling politicians ='slush funded', but must be directed where it can do trye benefits.

Why would he do that, precisely now? He has had plenty of opportunities to help in other quite worthy causes before.
He has reached a point where functional as well as factual acts of redemption are needed. We have seen how their system has created huge volumes of worthless 'garbage in motion' - by this I mean goods of such low value, coupled with low quality that neither buyer nor seller wants it. It is also low in density, so Amazon has burdened the ship-return ecology with unmanageable volumes of GIM that some Chinese online sellers are having ¬¬80% or more cancellations and returned good - that they lack the funds to credit the buyer with a refund at all = large numbers have folded their tents and fled. This Christmas season will see a shipper/seller/buyer crash = collapse. Honest shipper/seller supply chains will be burdened with tens of thousands of freight cars filled with melanges of all this stuff - all low value, not worth moving/sorting/delivering. Wait and see how Dec/Jan/Feb unfold.
Yeah man, a lot of people around the world, let's mention Dicaprio have never stepped foot in the amazon, i've never found anything about it.

Companies should stop raising flags about ESG and Amazon rainforest and not do something about it.
