The Ultimate Guide to Sustainable Investing
To avoid catastrophic climate change, our global civilization needs to do three things. Firstly, we need to "turn off the tap" and stop emitting excess greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.
Secondly, we need to “expand the tub” of our planet’s carbon carrying capacity. And thirdly, we need to “mop up” and bring back down the excess carbon dioxide that has built up in our atmosphere due to humans burning fossil fuels over the past 150 years.
We started Carbon Collective because we wanted to build better ways for individuals to collectivize and amplify their climate actions. This is the approach we have taken to investing. It is a powerful and necessary tool and we cannot solve climate change without harnessing it.
In the process of building our own portfolios, we studied this space very closely. We have opinions. You may agree or disagree, but we think you’ll probably find them helpful. It has taken us a long time to reach clarity on these issues. We hope you find that clarity as valuable as we do.
