Is eco-friendly investing even possible?
I’ve often talked about how our profit-driven culture is often at odds with the world I seek to cultivate. There’s a difference between maximizing things and optimizing them, seeking more versus seeking enough.
That said, the latter usually still calls for good habits like saving and investing your money. So how do you do those things while living in line with your values?
It’s easier to think about making sustainable decisions with the money you spend... but what about the money you don’t spend and save instead? After all, your bank doesn’t just let that money sit in an underground vault- it puts it to use to make even more money. Will it help launch a neighborhood business or will it fund a mega pipeline?
I’m not a finances guy, so I brought some of my sustainability and investing questions to my friend @moneyandmelinh - Melinh runs an awesome account that helps people understand the financial world better to help them live in sync with their values. She knows this looks a little different for everybody, which is why she’s worth following!
