Considering we live in a conflicted world where capitalism has ruined everything, I'd say donate a few thousand of it around, but also save it and just make the right choices on what you buy:

  • buy zero waste, local and bio
  • buy fair and repairable phones
  • buy fair and ecological clothing
  • etc..

So many people don't realize that every time they buy something in a store, they are casting a little capitalistic vote. We have to speak the language of what these evil sons of bitches speak, money. So I think for individuals, it mostly starts with us.

Look at the bright side, with rampant inflation and wage stagnation; soon no one will be able to buy anything anymore!
