    Can your money save the planet?

    Can your money save the planet?

    When we think about climate action, we often think about buying ethically or reducing emissions. But what about the way we bank? Depending on your bank, your money could be invested in ways that do good OR in industries that cause enormous harm, like the fossil fuel industry.
    In today's episode, we chat to Bank Australia’s Manager of Climate Action Strategy, Georgia Windrum, about the power that our money actually has as a form of climate action.
    Your HOT climate action this week, courtesy of Georgia, is to check out Market Forces to learn more about where all of Australia's bank stand on climate action.
