Usually on this show we talk about the power of our wallets to build the world we want. This week, let’s talk about how we can extend our power just a little bit further, to our places of work.
There are lots of ways to serve as a financial ally to the planet and to our community. This week, we’ll talk about five ways that are probably easier than you might think.
- Practice salary transparency.
- Propose a green 401K option if your company doesn’t already have one.
- Take advantage of your company’s matching donations.
- Participate in paid volunteer days
- Hire vendors with your mission and values in mind.
