Checking this may be impractical. But for crypto donations, you don't need to check - you _know_ that it was generated in an environmentally-unfriendly way (at least for the currencies currently accepted).

Since cross chain activity is made available that's not true, I could do 100% of my money on avalanche or solana and bridge some only to donate

Aren't you just moving the work to someone else, who had to mine a Bitcoin block for your donation transaction to go through?

I got sick of hearing this claim years ago. At this point, it's tantamount to gaslighting.
