You probably don’t realise, but every decision you make has an impact on the environment. From what you choose to eat for dinner to how you commute to work, everything we do will affect the earth in one way or another. For some, focusing on sustainability is second nature, but for others, it’s an area that needs some work. At the end of the day, we all want to be friends of the earth, but how do we actually go about it?
What did I divest from?
Ash and I never thought of ourselves as investors (it has a bit of a suit-and-tie vibe), but thanks to compulsory superannuation in Australia, every Australian of working age is an investor – even if you don’t have a stock portfolio.
“I can almost guarantee you that if you are not watching where that money goes, you are accidentally financing the climate crisis,” says Bullock. This is because “in Australia, most superannuation companies are investing in fossil fuels.”
And the banks? Like a lot of kids in the 90s, Ash and I were both brought up as Dollarmites kids with Commonwealth Bank, a company that has invested $12bn dollars into fossil fuels since 2016, funding enough carbon emissions to cancel out the gains made by Australia’s emissions reduction target more than 12 times over.
