How do you do the most good in the best way possible? That’s the question at the center of a global philosophical and social movement called effective altruism.
Rather than giving to charity based on emotional attachments, effective altruists use data and analysis to discern which causes they should support.
Members of the movement have donated hundreds of millions of dollars to charities and pledged billions more.
But effective altruism isn’t just about donating money. Some effective altruists have donated kidneys to strangers, while others dedicate their life’s work to solving big global problems.
For The New Reality, Krista Hessey meets young Canadians who have altered their lifestyle in order to live as ethically as possible and make the world a better place.
