Hi @robertwiblin.bsky.social, could you add us to this starter pack?

🗣 "For me, effective environmentalism is a movement committed to making the greatest possible positive impact on the environment during their lifetimes. This involves leveraging their careers, donations, and influence to identify and pursue the most impactful ways to drive meaningful change."

🗣 "It might sound idealistic, but I truly believe the world would benefit from more collaboration and kindness. We already have the resources and knowledge to address some of the biggest challenges we face. Yet, we fall short because we don’t work together effectively."

In an incubation program, Jennifer co-launched @mieuxdonner.org to help others do the same:

🗣 "Our mission is to raise as much money as possible for the world’s most effective charities. We use research by independent evaluators of global health, animal welfare, and climate change charities."

For the last seven years, Jennifer has split her time between guiding hiking trips in the Alps, ski trips in the Arctic, and marketing work for effective giving.

"I realized that my altruistic actions could have a far greater impact than I’d ever imagined."

She started donating 10% of her income.

This is an excellent take on effective climate action! Please consider making a short write-up of your conclusions on the EA forum and/or the Effective Environmentalism LinkedIn group. Let us know if you have any questions!

Lesson 4: Invest in state-capacity. Madrid invested in experienced in-house engineers and managers to design and oversee projects. The public construction company paid top experts and prioritized cost-quality balance over low-cost bids to ensure long-term success.

Lesson 3: Trade-offs matter. Building the fastest, most innovative or most prestigious design will come at a cost. Stations are standardized using simple designs, rather than unique architectural marvels.

Lesson 2: Time is money. The regional government cut through delays by streamlining environmental and planning processes. Meanwhile, construction teams worked around the clock, tunneling 24/7 to expedite delivery.
