What a really great idea

For microphilanthropist, donations are a part of daily life
It’s been more than 230 days since Carlo Garcia bought a cup of coffee.

That’s because in April, the Chicago resident realized that he could change lives and inspire others to do the same — all for the price of his morning joe.

“One day this idea popped into my head: How hard would it be to give back to charity every day? What’s stopping us from doing that?” said Garcia, who catalogs his daily donations on his blog, Living Philanthropic.
My favourite quote? 'You don't have to be rich and famous to make a little bit of good.'

Way to go!
