BREAK UP WITH YOUR BANK


We only have 1 Planet, let's do what we can to ensure she's around for future generations to enjoy. Break up with your bank and support a financial institution that is moving in the right direction with policy change that supports clean energy.

In the last 4 years a collective 35 banks throughout the world have contributed 2.7 trillion dollars to the fossil fuel industry, the top 5 donors being JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citi, Bank of America, and RBC. While we understand no financial institution is perfect, we feel it makes sense to support the ones that are moving towards funding clean energy. The banks who are leading by example are those updating their policies to support clean energy in the coming years. For these reasons Golden State Guiding has decided to partner with Bank of the West.

Golden State Guiding is a proud donor of Protect Our Winters through our 1% for the Planet annual donation. Big thanks to our friends at POW for spearheading this campaign and for bringing awareness to our community. Give them a follow if you don’t already @protectourwinters
