I loved this interview!
Greenwashing
Did you know Bank of America is one of the biggest funders of fossil fuel infrastructure projects? The interviews with environmentalists are pretty ironic greenwashing attempts.
Bank of America and Fossil Fuels
No thanks- I’ll listen to a podcast funded by Bank of America that promotes “advocacy , equality, and environmental justice” when they divert from the fossil fuel industry. In 2020, BOA invested $42 billion in the fossil fuel industry. Interviewing environmentalists means nothing when you are funding the problem. This is a terrible PR move to cover for them destroying the planet.
