shylands··on Ask HN: Given that I am a Software Engineer, how could I help humanity the most?
Hey, I felt the same which led me to create Impact Makers earlier this year. There are various projects there aiming to help fight climate change which you can contribute to. https://techimpactmakers.com/

Also checkout https://fixathon.io - an online hackathon to help fix the climate.

shylands··on Ask HN: Who Here Is Working to Fix the Environment?
There are several job boards. I'm trying to figure out how to do it for my own projects.

The most obvious way is to think of an idea that helps fight climate change but also makes money (easier said than done).

Also been considering if there is the potential to gain suppose on Patreon or similar from the community for working on climate action projects like some open-source developers do.

I'm a big believer in taking action. Even if you aren't sure how you can help by trying you never know what will happen based on your actions. Two months ago I became motivated to help fix the climate, so far I have:

Started https://techimpactmakers.com/ to bring together tech workers to communicate and collaborate around the climate issue.

Launched https://climatechoice.co/ a website which educates you about how you can help prevent earth’s climate breaking down today.

Announced The Climate Fixathon. The world's first online hackathon for makers to help fix the climate. Full launch next week - https://fixathon.io

My long-term goal is to figure out how to do this full-time.
