Say I have US$10,000. What's the best use of that money if my goal is to stop climate change?

    You’re not personally responsible

    While I agree with your overall comment, I disagree with how it starts. We are all responsible for the decisions we make, once we are educated about those decisions.

    Example: You can buy bamboo toilet paper for less than Charmin when purchased online. This reduces the deforestation of old growth trees by reducing the demand. Now that you know this, you are responsible for the choice you make on what you purchase. Or buy a bidet. Every person who talks about this spreads education, which is what influences larger scale decisions about regulation (albeit much more slowly than campaign donations).

    For those whop ask, source: https://savetrees.co/products/bulk-toilet-paper?variant=44493957431458 vs https://www.walmart.com/ip/Charmin-Ultra-Gentle-Toilet-Paper-18-Mega-Rolls-231-Sheets-per-Roll/2846366584

    $0.0039991667 per sheet vs $0.0048027898 per sheet for Charmin.
