    enOctober 18, 2022

    About this Episode

    We’ve been discussing consumer behaviors and improving them to be more sustainable. One thing we do almost daily is spend money. While we might think about what we choose to buy as consumer behavior, the banks we use are also part of that equation.

    In this episode, we discuss green banking and why it's important for a cleaner, sustainable future.

    Better Sleep, Better Life, Better Planet

    When you think of climate change and sustainability, what do you think about? Do you imagine rainforests and endangered species? Maybe the wildfires or flooding we’ve seen across the US? Or maybe your mind goes to the ocean and its vast biodiversity. All of these are important - but there's one more thing we should consider when it comes to sustainability: sleep. That's right—sleep is a critical factor in creating a sustainable world and affects us all daily. 

    In this episode, continuing our conversation about prioritizing our health, I'll talk about why getting good rest is vital for keeping us and our planet healthy.
