Giving Green's mission is to combat the climate crisis by connecting donors and volunteers to organisations working to fight climate change. Here's how we do our work. 👇(1/8)

@ProfDavidHart @yayitsrob We're definitely interested in ITIF as well as many other orgs working in this space. We plan to spend more time in the new year digging into other projects and will be dynamically updating our recommendations as we produce more research!
New: Let’s say you want to donate $25 to fighting climate change. Where should your money go?

Problem: it's hard to know where to put your time and money in fighting climate change.
Solution: Giving Green finds orgs backed by rigorous evidence that do great work and need more resources
Next Step: donate. volunteer. do it with effective orgs. do it early and do it often

Let's go. #givinggreen
@Climeworks captures CO2 from the ambient air and then injects it deep underground where it reacts with the local geology and forms a solid. That's a pretty good way to permanently remove Carbon. See our full write-up on them at https://t.co/c5CT3dsmjb #givinggreen

I've thought "Where is the @GiveWell for climate change" ~1x a week the last year.

Hey economists, we know the solution to climate change: It's a carbon tax, right? 3589 economists (27 nobels) signed this statement. WRONG. Pledge is a scam, and carbon tax falling out of favor with pols who matter in US. 1/8 https://t.co/Pz4ydMx9Zx #EconTwitter#givinggreen
