Ideally, every dollar you spend should go to a good cause. If you are spending money on something and it's not a good cause, that's already an issue.
All my food dollars go to organic farmers. I don't send money to farmers who use pesticides. I don't send money to companies who cage and abuse animals.
All my personal care dollars go to organic, fair-trade soap makers.
All my web hosting dollars go to Dreamhost, an American owned and operated hosting company who only runs Linux and who is 100% carbon neutral and green.
There's no reason that every dollar you spend can't go to charity with a little mindfulness. This makes a lot more sense to me and seems a lot more authentic than giving away the majority of my income to people who will misuse it, then $50 a month to a charity to try to feel better about it.
Every dollar is a vote, not just some of them.
