Jeff Bezos is donating $10bn of his personal wealth to help “save Earth”. The Amazon chief executive said he would fund “any effort that offers a real possibility to help preserve and protect the natural world”.  (The Week 21 Feb 2020)

On this blog I have, for what it’s worth, criticized the richest man in the world for doing little or nothing for charity, something most Americans are incredibly generous about.

It is appropriate for followers of Epicurus to be as generous as individually possibly to the poor,  the sick and the disadvantaged.  Protecting the environment qualifies.   It’s nice to note that he has got the message.  Hopefully he won’t stop there.  We need more of his fortune recycled into good causes.
