Is your money making the world a better place? Or is it supporting the continuation of fossil fuel and other industries that contribute to climate change?
Did you know that banks lend our money to large coal, oil and gas companies and projects, and super funds and insurance companies invest customers' money in these industries.
Come along to learn more about how you can exert influence and make a positive change for sustainability by making sure your money is working for good. Divesting your money from fossil fuels is a powerful thing to do. It is the opposite of investment - it's taking your money away from damaging industries and businesses that threaten our future.
Our speaker is Jack Bertolus from Market Forces, a Melbourne-based organisation that works with the community to prevent investment in projects that harm the environment and drive global warming.
A simple meal will be provided from 6pm, prior to the talk - we suggest a donation of $5 per person to help cover costs.
