If you don't spend money at all, then you've removed yourself from participating in modern society, so that's not a reasonable suggestion. I spent more money to replace my aging furnace with a heat pump to reduce my emissions, so the mere exchange of money doesn't cause pollution. I could have spent a lot less money to repair or replace it with an equivalent 80% efficient furnace. My point is that it's not as simple as "money exchange causes more pollution" since I could stop sending money to my waste management company while not doing anything at all to reduce my personal pollution. Yes there are ways you can reduce your pollution impact (i.e. by buying less unnecessary goods, traveling less, etc), but there are also ways you can spend less money (i.e. by buying cheaper produce imported from another country 1000 miles away than paying a bit more for more local produce) while increasing your environmental impact.
