DoC is an environmentalist.
Reduce, reuse and recycle, bro.
I would bet million of my points that you watched Captain Planet as a kid/teen.
or donate to local charities with minimal overhead that help those that are homeless or in poverty. seems like that would be more "dope" than helping a corporation achieve extra tax incentives
Actually, I just found an awesome local organization on the list that I donate to anyway -- exciting to have a chance to match, since my employer doesn't.

Water Legacy is lobbying against opening up northern Minnesota to all sorts of toxic mining disasters. They rally people to show up at the capitol, rally people for letter-writing campaigns, probably do other direct-lobbying stuff I don't know about because it's not as relevant to the mailing list, etc.
I found out about them through another "matching" program local to Minnesota a few years ago -- excited to see someone matching donations to them again.
How does this achieve extra tax incentives? They can't claim your donation without also claiming it as income.
The big bad Patagonia corporation!
Patagonia is a dope company that cares about preserving the planet, so glad to see this in my feed today. Donated what I could to spread out the love.
This is awesome!! Lots of groups I support anyway - about to get double.
Thank you for posting this. :-)
