We envision a world in which financial investment is universally viewed as a powerful tool for achieving environmental and social benefits while simultaneously earning a competitive return and providing investors with the financial security they need.
Our working group helps families understand how values-based investing plays an important role in creating a livable climate and empowers families to bring their financial investments into alignment with their values.
Electricity generation in Montana produces more climate warming emissions than all transportation or industry in our state. The technology exists today to transition to a clean, reliable, and affordable grid. We are working to support and pressure the Public Service Commission, legislature, and Northwestern Energy to do the right thing and make this transition now.
Decisions about our kids' future are being made in the capital and at NWE headquarters. This is the time for Montanans to come together and protect our kids' future.
Our goal is to provide tools and support for every Montana school to improve energy efficiency, incorporate renewable energy, improve sustainability throughout operations, and provide a healthy environment for kids to learn.
The Healthy Schools group has put on two Federal Dollars for Montana Schools webinars to help schools apply for federal grants, organized an Electric Bus Drive and Ride event to allow school administrators to test-drive an electric school bus and sign on to a group application to the EPA, developed a sustainability newsletter for Montana school officials, and helped MCPS schools obtain free air purifiers from DPHHS.
We collaborate with citizens through local and statewide actions to end plastic pollution in Montana.
