I understand how the personal responsibility plays into the climate change and already follow most of the best practices: biking to the office, driving electric (Ontario electricity), energy conservation at home, reducing consumption, but feel that I can do more.

Can someone suggest a few environmental charities that can be donated to?

No sure if you already do this, and know it has been said 1000xs before, but seriously, reducing/cutting meat consumption is probably one of the largest/cheapest impacts you can have for the personal cost.

And if you have the financial means to take the risk to be picky about your job (and are technically inclined), have a read of Bret Victor's "What can a technologist do about climate change?" post, so much to be done assuming it's not all too late already.

Most charities are about damage control, not dealing with the problem.

Another option, is invest in a Solar Share program if they are available in your country. Possibility for good returns and helps build more solar energy.
