Junky Car Club

So basically these guys have formed a community around driving p.o.s. cars, lemons if you will, in order to give more money away to just social causes. These guys give to Compassion International. Whats that you ask? They sponsor children.

"The Junky Car Club is a car club whose members are learning to live with less so they can give more. We're a bunch of happy drivers who are politely rebelling against consumerism by driving junky cars. We encourage our members to support social justice causes instead of making fat car payments. Junky Car Club members sponsor kids living in poverty through Compassion International and help other great organizations. We believe in environmental stewardship and hanging onto things a little longer." ~Junky Car Club

I think this mind set rocks, buuuuut .....I don't have car. whats a man to do.

• Smaller/cheaper apartment?
• Move out of New York City?
• Don't go out as much?
• Stop buying stuff?
• PB&J?

Seriously though, I think social justice issues are easy to talk about and easy to debate. I think its easy to want to hold people accountable to incredibly high standards and pan them for ignorance/apathy while i just sit on the sidelines thinking about all the "helpful" things that should be done.
