The Banks Growing Money on Trees (bonus episode from “Outside Podcast”)

This week, we’re sharing another podcast we like from our friends at Outside Magazine.

A quarter of the money at the world’s largest banks goes directly to funding fossil fuel projects. But what if it didn’t? In this episode of “Outside Podcast,” reporter Cat Jaffee calls customer service at her bank — one of the world’s largest financial institutions — to ask them if they might consider investing her money differently. It goes about as well as you’d expect.
