Amazon launches collaborative initiative to raise money for the Colorado River basin

Amazon has launched the Colorado River Basin Collaborative to fund water projects across the basin and is encouraging other organizations to join. The goal is to raise $100 million over the next two years. Amazon Water Sustainability Lead Will Hewes says no single company can solve the water shortage alone—it will take an industry-wide effort.
