Ask HN: Ideas for small ways to make the world a better place

I’m looking for some good, specific ideas on small ways to have a positive impact on the world on a daily basis.

What do you consider to be the highest return-on-efforts ways to make the world a better place for as many people as possible?

This has been quality answered many times by smartest people but nobody cares.

Take Kant for example and go improve yourself, as the only part of the world you can really change.

If you're interested in donating and being reasonably assured that your money isn't getting the Worldvision treatment, I highly recommend checking out "Giving What We Can" [1] and "GiveWell" [2].

Better known as "charity" among people that don't need their egos stroked.
