    How to find a bank that doesn't invest in fossil fuels

    Could your bank account be one of your biggest climate superpowers? Most people never think to check who their bank lends to or invests in, but switching to a fossil-free bank is ranked as the highest-impact climate action you can take with your money in the SHIFT guide (https://jointheshift.earth/). In this episode, host Kim talks to Matt, a First Direct/HSBC customer in the UK, who discovers his bank's fossil fuel financing for the first time, live, on the call, and what he found when he compared fossil-free alternatives. They cover why banking matters so much more than most people realize, how to check your own bank's fossil funding score, and the practical steps for switching to a climate-friendly bank without losing your direct debits, your mortgage payments or missing any bills. To find out more about whether your bank funds fossil fuels or if you'd like to switch: see SHIFT: https://jointheshift.earth/climate-actions/bank-fossil-free.

    How to vote for climate action

    Why is voting one of the most powerful things you can do for the climate? Most people rank recycling as a climate action ahead of voting, but research has found that voting for a pro-climate candidate could matter far more than your personal emissions. In this episode, host Kim talks to Kate, a former construction sustainability manager turned Environmental Voting Project volunteer, about why so many climate-minded people don't vote consistently, and what to actually do about it. "I think people are really starting to attend to the problem, but everybody doesn't know what to do,” Kate said. They cover how to register and plan to vote, how to identify climate leaders on your ballot using tools like the Congressional Scorecard and OpenSecrets, and how Kate is helping expand the climate vote, one handwritten postcard at a time.
