REFLECTION QUESTIONEducation & LivelihoodAfter learning more about investing, how can you increase positive impacts and decrease negative impacts?
Sasha Corde 4/27/2022 6:16 AMCapital is a very powerful tool in driving change. Knowing more about your investments is the first step to holding companies accountable either by researching yourself or asking your financial advisor about ESG investing. As You Sow is a great resource for transparency about the sustainability of various public companies or funds, even your retirement accounts: https://www.asyousow.org/ -
REFLECTION QUESTIONBasic Needs & SecurityWhat is one way you will reduce your water use? What is a practice you already have that helps you reduce your water use?
Sasha Corde 4/13/2022 11:33 AMI was surprised to see how much my diet impacted my water footprint. Living in the northeast, we don't always think of water scarcity issues but cutting down on my meat consumption will help reduce my water and carbon footprint. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONEconomy & CommunitiesHow might you be able to get others involved in advocating for the clean energy shift?
Sasha Corde 4/12/2022 9:46 AMTalking to my family, friends, and neighbors about exploring the options in their area is really important! Increasing consumer demand for clean energy is an important market-driven tool that can help accelerate energy companies' transition toward renewables.
