HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE “OVER 60” CLIMATE GROUP ” TH!RD ACT”? Bill Mckibben and others started this group because, “As a generation we have unprecedented skills and resources that we can bring to bear. Washington and Wall Street have to listen when we speak, because we vote and because we have a large—maybe an overlarge—share of the country’s assets. And many of us have kids and grandkids and great grandkids: we have, in other words, very real reasons to worry and to work.”
They have an exciting plan to pull the rug out from under the banks that finance fossil fuel! Take the pledge here: https://thirdact.org/what-we-do/banking-on-our-future/
