"It's crazy that our banks invest in things that are jeopardizing our future", denounces David Attenborough in #ALifeOnOurPlanet

But, did you know that you can choose #BankingOnValues organisations that only finance projects that take care of the people and the planet? Thread

Have you ever thought that money is the root of all evil?

There are reasons to think that...

But the people who founded an alternative to conventional banks thought about that differently...

In the 60s and 70s, some people and organisations noticed that while they were protesting for the civil rights and the environment... their money in the bank was sometimes supporting opposite goals.

Among these people were some of the founders of future #BankingOnValues banks...

In the last decades, a growing movement of banks:

1) Only invest in the real economy

2) Only support social and sustainable projects like sustainable energy or education initiatives

3) Don't invest in activities harmful for the people and the planet

But, where are they???
