Dirty money is a huge problem in this country, friend. Billions of dollars go to fund the fossil fuel industry every year as we literally wreck our planet; poison the air and water in Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color; and destroy the possibility of a healthy future.
But did you know that an action as small as planting trees can make a difference?
In one year, a mature tree can absorb
48 pounds of carbon dioxide and produce life-giving oxygen at the same time. That's why planting trees — along with a comprehensive, rapid plan to transition equitably to clean energy, invest in zero-emission public transit and vehicles, and build energy-efficient and sustainable homes and businesses — is an important part of fighting the climate crisis.
And it's a step you can have a direct impact on with your bank account.
