Think of all the good you could do by NOT BUYING STUFF and making donations instead. ShopShopDONTBUY.com makes it easy. And fun. With great finds, reasons not to buy them, and links to charities that can scratch a similar itch.
This is really more of a side-project than anything, a reaction to all of the Black Friday emails hitting my inbox, and an attempt to get people thinking of all of the good that can be done when we stop buying stuff we don't need.
I'd love it if, somehow, this thing took off and one day it had all the scale and scope of Amazon, but with none of the boxes, trucks, deliveries, or returns, just more money going directly to noble causes during the holiday season.
