My question is about donation swap and is there enough critical mass of givers (and demand) to implement or help facilitate something like this?

eg- Australia can give to some cause areas / charities but not others (eg existential risk, animal policy/lobbying  etc)

Thanks for all the great work (and donations!) you and crew all do at GWWC.

Great initiative!

Quite a lot of agri projects doing similar things with satellite imagery

eg- seeing if rice farmers are adopting alternate wetting drying as opposed to traditional flooding, to reduce methane emissions. 

Not sure if there are practical lessons to be learned from those folks?

What an interesting and relevant topic area you're working on, and nice to hear you're working towards something bigger. How true about extraordinary altruistic leverage. Welcome to the forum...

Thanks for helping out with those communities in Borneo, and caring to want to do more and use reason and kindness to help more out. Welcome!

Hey Ryan, welcome and glad to read your intro! It's admirable that you are committed to impact. I think it's natural to feel the problems of the world are big, and sometimes feel that our impact is so low. But it's not. Every dollar we spend or minute volunteering or working on an effective intervention matters, and can make a big difference in lives, today or potentially in the future. Thanks for posting and all the best with figuring out the next steps!

Any possibility for an ePub/Mobi (for reading on ereader etc)

Inspired by an EA Melbourne planning event yesterday, we came up with concept of having a subtle but visible visual tag for posts/replies by folks who are in the same city as you (opt in option in your profile), to help build more in-person community and potential collaboration.
 

Great effort on the project, and appreciate the open sharing which helps everyone out 👏 

Perhaps another way to frame it might be to count the time and money outside of the your donation bucket? As in, donation budget is rational/effective, and everything else can be included as part of discretionary spending on personal/wellbeing? eg- same bucket as hobbies, travel etc.

Not sure if this might simplify things mentally and guard against motivated reasoning and slippery slope concerns

There are calculators out there, like this simple one from the UN for example: https://offset.climateneutralnow.org/footprintcalc 
(includes lifestyle factors like meat as well as travel)
