Gave $2 and 50 cents to British Airways 'Change for Good' Appeal (total: um, £21.86p?!)


I'd been in Seattle, staring at the inside of conference rooms and out at the world from taxi windows and was flying back with The Lovely BA (sorry, but they were terribly nice, must have been that ridiculous amount of money the tickets cost). I put the remaining cash from the US in to their envelopes for the Change for Good campaign. I think everyone should get in the habit of passing on their little bits of foreign currency, it just sits in drawers and pots and in corners when you're back home anyway and you never remember to take those random euros etc with you when you travel next - so get in to the habit. Drop your change somewhere. Most airports (like Schipol in Amsterdam for example) have collection points, if you travel with BA they'll give you an envelope, and most banks have something on the counter for this kind of collection too. Perhaps you could go and rustle through some drawers and stuff now and make a point of dropping off all that old, foreign currency.
I dare you.
Do it this weekend.
Do it tonight.

Now doesn't that feel nice?
