Charity and Tithing by Noahides
#11
Thanks for your answer on if it is possible to regard donations to environmental organizations as tzedaka.

Your answer covers different aspects. That of political aspects (but no issue is not political) and that the environmental issues often are a matter of proper utilization and natural resources. Also, that a good environment gives joy to both G-d and humans.
You write that tzedaka means "righteousness," so increasing righteousness (according to Noahide Laws) and decreasing “unrighteousness” in the world should be the goal with giving.

I miss one aspect in the answer. What is the definition of tzedaka?
A definition would make it easier to know if I just give to a good cause or if I give true Tzedaka. Or is it up to me to decide if it is increasing righteousness?

Yours
Niklas
