I’ve been a member of KUNC for several years now, and I decided to donate to WBEZ because of their awesome program This American Life.

Really, it’s not that expensive. Don’t go out for a night and suddenly you’ve helped propagate something really important.

On that same note, I try to buy things from companies I like or people that are choosing to make less but do more. Sometimes I balk when it comes time to write the check, but I try.

My big hope is that one day someone will figure out a way to sustainably get more money to public schools and pay teachers more.
