Right now, your savings are probably funding fossil fuels. Every year, banks loan billions (nearly trillions) of dollars to fossil fuel companies to finance pipelines, oil wells, and coal plants. It's messed up and shocking—they are using your money to destroy the planet.

Most major banks finance fossil fuels, but not every bank finances fossil fuels. You can search for your bank on websites like BankTrack to see how it invests your money. The good news is that switching to a climate friendly bank doesn’t cost any money, the interest rates and perks are just as good, and their digital products are way better than established banks.
