Tabforacause is an extension that donates money to a charity of your choice with every new tab you open. The Tumblr-group beat the Reddit-group in a competiton to see who could raise more money, and we won, and now we get to choose to which charity we donate $1000. Use #tabforacause1000 and the hastag saying to which charity you want to donate.

Tab for a cause

We are nothing without our planet and it’s time we try to fix what we have destroyed. Therefore I believe Conservation International should get the donation. They do amazing work!

Fighting for the long term

Yay! Tumblr won :)

When it comes to charities most people choose charities that assist in human welfare. e.g. food, shelter, water. Which I think is great! However there is also the problem that there are only a very limited amount of resources, and we need to find a way to spend these resources effectively.

One of the greatest challenges that we, as a human race, are currently fighting is an existential one. Specifically climate change. Why existential? The effects of climate change may not be as drastic as, say, The Day After Tomorrow…yet Of course, such an event could potentially happen if we let it happen. A world where major natural disasters occur in every month of every year in every major city sounds sucky. We won’t have the resources to sustain our lifestyles, let alone ourselves. it’s pretty obvious that by this point, technological innovation would be the last thing on our minds.

And that’s the problem. Humans are currently living in such unsustainable ways that future generations will essentially be forced to live under an agricultural societal mentality as opposed to a technological innovative civilization. People who’ve seen Interstellar  know what I’m talking about. Basically, we’re going to be a species forever stuck on Planet Earth. If an asteroid comes hurtling towards us, where done for. Becoming an interplanetary species sounds science fiction-y but it is also vital for our long term future. People like Elon Musk are already working on it. But we don’t have a lot of time left.

That is why I pick Conservation International as my chosen charity.

Tab For Wounded Warriors

Tumblr won in the Tab For a Cause “Tumblr vs. Reddit” Challenge! I think we should support the Wounded Warrior Project as our Reward. Hundreds of soldiers come back every day to families who don’t care if they’re missing an arm or a leg, as long as their heart is the same. However, missing an arm or a leg causes these families great trouble when comes to finding a job, paying for rehabilitation and supporting their families. Wounded Warriors helps these families get by the day to day without having to worry about an empty space where a leg should be. Instead they hold their soldier’s hearts in their hands.
