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.

  1. Practice salary transparency.
  2. Propose a green 401K option if your company doesn’t already have one.
  3. Take advantage of your company’s matching donations.
  4. Participate in paid volunteer days
  5. Hire vendors with your mission and values in mind.
