Would you be interested in helping stop the communism in LA? They are doing a lot of damage not only to people, by drugs, organ traffic, prostitution and slavery, but to pets/animals in zoos, and rivers/forests as well. Environmental stress as a consequence of corruption seeded by communists actually is a huge contribution to global warming.
If you want to make the world a better place, then helping LA stop communism-related broad-spectrum-corruption, is a good beginning.
I believe you mean the state of California, and New York. But, I agree. Spending the money on charities is definitely the right way to go, but you need to spend money on the right charities.
Now, if you're truly looking to make money by making the world a better place, start with ICOs that are in this realm, such as IDMoney (in my signature)
ICO is one of the better option which can help the company to raise the money and you to make some money once it becomes successful and get good listing on various exchanges. Another thing is that you can loan the amount to the people who have good projects on hand but do not have money to start working or struck due to shortage of money.
