If you are doing everything in your personal life to better the environment but your money is sitting in a bank that’s using it to blow up mountain tops, it’s time to fix that.

This mini course is meant to serve as an introduction to the topic of eco-conscious finance to help you reflect on issues you may not have been aware of and plan out how you can start taking action.

We encourage you to analyze the financial institution that you are currently entrusting your money with. What is their score card when it comes to environmental issues? Do they have a plan to divest from fossil fuels? If they score quite poorly, what alternative financial institutions are there in your area?

You have no obligation to share your research, but is helpful to other students. Please note that when you submit a class project, it is visible to others. Also, remember that we are not financial advisors. Make sure to do some digging before making any decisions.
