Thanks for doing this, Myles! I strongly upvoted your post.
I do not know whether improving the conditions of farmed animals, and mitigating global warming, habitat destruction, and plastic waste increase or decrease welfare due to potentially dominant uncertain effects on soil animals and microorganisms. However, I still think offseting the effects of personal consumption by funding the most cost-effective interventions is a good norm to spread.
I can imagine donating to these causes has hidden second-order effects with a chance to make the whole donation negative impact. My goal is definitely NOT to be on the cutting edge of moral philosophy with this site, just to make the kinds of information I feel will click easily with people more accessible.
Love that you’re exploring microorganism welfare that seems interesting and like not many people have thought it through.
