Michael Richardson of Rivers & Mountains GreenFaith will lead the second of two interactive talks at St. Vincent's on how to move your finances from funding and insuring fossil fuel extraction, production and distribution, and instead direct your bank deposits, insurance premiums, use of a credit card and investment portfolio to financial institutions that invest your money to fund local businesses and farms, affordable housing, and development of renewable clean energy.

This program is sponsored by St. Vincent’s Adult Faith Formation Committee and the Creation Care Team.

Learn about the funds you are now investing in, how to find alternative investments, and how to find an environmentally conscious financial advisor.
