your money is powerful

Whilst I was out in the Arctic I was really concerned about the amount of energy we were munching up just by being there. I brought this up at one of the discussions, and one interesting response was from Marcus Brigstocke.

He pointed out that you can waste hours worrying about whether you’ve left the TV on standby, but one thing that can really affect the planet is what you do with your money.

If you put your money  in a bank who don’t tell you what their ethical policies are, you have no way of knowing what kind of companies they are investing in. You could be funding weapons deals, oppressive governments and doing all kinds of damage to the planet.

It had never occured to me.
