IMO the highest leverage thing to do right now to fix the environment is connecting the most talented people with careers at organizations directly tackling parts of the environmental crisis. Individual efforts can help, but all major advancements in human history have come through a coordinated group of people advancing a common cause. In our day and age, these are the corporations and nonprofits.
Similarly, the effectiveness of volunteering is also limited because of how hard it is to do work for free for a long period of time. The moment something becomes hard is the moment an effort starts getting valuable, and also the moment when volunteers start dropping.
Given all this, I'm currently working on Dolphin (https://www.splashwithdolphin.com/), which connects people with careers at high-impact companies tackling problems they care about. Climate change is #1 on the list of pressing issues. Happy to chat more about this at george@splashwithdolphin.com.
