Life can be like trying to open the wrong end of a bin bag sometimes but, at least you've got a bag and you're trying to open it.

While all very laudable, instead of companies asking me whether I wish to make a donation every time I make a purchase, why don't they say "we've just donated x to this charity because of your purchase today". I think they have the deeper pockets and then can legitimately take the moral high ground.
