What actions can you take?
- #1 - Demand large banks stop funding the dirty
fossil fuel industry and divest of those banks.
- Successful fossil fuel industry requires:
– Ability to locate, extract and transport the fossil fuels – Big banks to finance their operating expenses and
expansions.
- In 2017 major banks in U.S. and Canada increased
their financial investments in the fossil fuel industry.
