Wielding money to save the planet

Loo talks to Barry Coates, founder and CEO of Mindful Money, a charity dedicated to revealing the hidden streams of money that control the world and reclaiming their power for good.

After an illustrious career dedicated to environmental and social advocacy, Barry Coates has come to believe that directing our money is the greatest power we have as individuals to help the planet and change our economic system.

In our conversation, we explore and challenge the role of money in our modern world and break down its power and mystique.

Included in the podcast, is a session with Barry’s colleague (and my friend Olive) where she shows me how easy it is to redirect the money I have in my Kiwisaver fund to better serve the planet and people.

If you have a Kiwisaver fund and want to see what you’re invested in, go to https://mindfulmoney.nz/ and press “check my fund”. It’s super easy to change to a more ethical one. It only takes 10-20min and if we all do it, our little contributions will add to a mighty river to change the world!
