Dear Friend, To help you use your money to reflect your values, Green America shares this opportunity from Amalgamated Bank, a certified Green Business Network member. Big Oil is Up to its Old Tricks – The Time to Act is Now! The severity and frequency of climate caused disasters is rising at an ever-accelerating pace. Extreme bouts of heat are causing hydropower to falter, farmland to become too parched to produce crops, and widespread water restrictions¹. Flash floods are wreaking havoc, causing mudslides, submerging cars, and posing a serious risk to life. As the intensity between wet and dry extremes widens, so does the destructive power of these forces. With each passing minute we move closer to permanently accepting the reality that climate change will have made the world sicker, hungrier, poorer, gloomier and way more dangerous. While the recently passed climate bill provided a glimmer of hope, hidden below its surface were major concessions to the ever-profiteering fossil fuel industry². In keeping with their revived, exploitative, mantra of “drill baby drill” the bill expedites fossil fuel permitting, including for projects like the controversial Mountain Valley Pipeline. This pipeline would carry 2 billion cubic feet of fracked gas across more than a thousand streams and wetlands in Appalachia, generating emissions equivalent to 37 coal plants or over 27 million cars each year³. What can I do? We believe in the power of investors to motivate corporate action. The time has come to divest from the bad actors who are seeking to destroy our planet. We can help you align your investments with your values today – and it doesn’t mean you need to suffer by making less money⁴. Contact us for a free analysis of how your portfolio might be supporting the fossil fuel industry’s environmentally devastating practices. Be Careful Due to the prevalence of greenwashing on Wall Street, many individuals and organizations have sought our help to review their existing investments in the hopes of better aligning their values with their portfolio. Amalgamated’s history of specializing in fossil fuel-free investing and supporting communities historically left behind means we have the expertise to help you match your values with your investments. In our experience, the sheer number of environmental bad actors we have found “hiding” in our clients’ existing portfolios has been staggering. It is why we started offering a “Values Alignment Check” to ensure the investments you make truly reflecting your intentions. |
