One of my favourite websites is called Science Heroes: it ranks the giants of the scientific world according to estimates of how many lives they’ve saved.

Microwaves are the most efficient way to cook, local food is often no better than food shipped from continents away, organic food often has a higher carbon footprint, and packaging is a tiny fraction of a food’s environmental footprint while often lengthening its shelf life.

charity evaluator GiveWell is my most trusted reference.
