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

While this isn’t a suggestion, just want to say don’t let other people saying one person doesn’t make a difference discourage you from doing what you can anyway.

“What is any ocean but a multitude of drops”? If a million people each don’t bother because they alone don’t make a difference?

Similar to the Starfish Story.

Actual suggestions:

Aid education. Lots of illiterate youth is going to be a problem when they can’t even read to research on their own.
Encourage increasing plant-based agriculture and the reduction of animal agriculture. Animal agriculture is terrible for the environment, and ironically the “green” version of it is even worse for the environment than factory farming if it were done to scale with the same product output. (Hunting is also not good to promote as an alternative, because if we hunted as much as we eat we would absolutely cause mass extinction very fast.)
