Saving the Planet With Your Savings Account
Most people think about reducing their carbon footprint through daily habits, but your bank account may have an even bigger impact. This review of Project Drawdown’s climate-responsible banking report explores how moving your savings from fossil-fuel-financing mega banks to mission-driven community banks and credit unions can help reduce emissions and support a more sustainable future.
How Better Banking Can Support Climate Action and Environmental Justice
The banks we choose can have a major impact on climate change and environmental justice. While mega banks continue financing fossil fuel industries and high-emission corporations, community banks and mission-driven financial institutions often invest more heavily in local economies, small businesses, and sustainable community development. Moving your money to a Better Banking Option can be one meaningful way to support climate action and economic justice at the same time.
