It reminds me of optimal philanthropy. For example one of the most effective ways to donate money towards mitigating climate change is to give to The Humane League for sheer outreach & promotional materials on becoming a vegetarian (even if animal welfare itself is not important to you).

Super boring low-tech thing like sending out flyers & sharing videos of animal welfare in industrial farming turns out to be hugely efficient in terms of CO2 reduction per dollar.
