Meanwhile,&nbsp;<em>GiveWell<\/em>&nbsp;is known for its cold, number crunching to identify exactly where best your donation goes. While criticism might be levelled at both for their rather utilitarian methodologies, I find both organisations fascinating models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><\/em><\/strong><strong>2.

Campaign I'm exploring:&nbsp;<u><a href=\"https:\/\/adfreecities.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>Adfree Cities<\/u><\/a><\/u>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><u><\/u><\/strong>- One of my biggest bug bears is street advertising. I feel strongly that we have the right to walk, travel and be in our public spaces without the constant bombardment of commercial advertising. When did it get so bad? Billboards were grotesque enough, but the trend toward digital screens that violently throw&nbsp;garish, eyeball-grabbing ads in our faces takes us to another level. The rise of&nbsp;<em>Global<\/em>&nbsp;y&nbsp;<em>JCDeaux<\/em>&nbsp;as monopolising&nbsp;advertising monarchies is&nbsp;&nbsp;equally worrying, ensuring that only minimal&nbsp;profits from advertising are reinvested into local communities. I thought I was alone in griping about this, but was delighted this fortnight to discover<em>Adfree&nbsp;<\/em><em>Cities&nbsp;<\/em>and their campaign work. I'm looking forward to getting more informed and taking action. Our streets and spaces are&nbsp;<em>ours<\/em>, not simply more advertising space for corporations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5.
