Effective altruism

Effective Altruism is a way of trying to do the most good possible with the resources you have. It’s about using your money, talents and skills to help people and the planet in ways that make the biggest difference. Effective Altruism looks at different possibilities and tries to figure out which option will make the biggest impact. For example, if you want to do some good with the money you have saved up, you might be able to make a bigger difference by donating it to an effective charity than spending it on something for yourself.
