Since it`s better to keep ourselves open for good causes, I must say I recently attended this donate a car charity event. Not quite the most environmentalist event in this world, but it impressed me to see how you can change someone`s life with a simple gesture, by donating a car while you are probably getting ready to buy yourself a new one. We must promote green living to the world around us.
