4/17/2022

​Customers for Climate Justice - Stop the Money Pipeline

Since the 2015 adoption of the Paris Agreement, the world’s 60 largest banks have invested $4.6 trillion in fossil fuels--contrary to their long-term climate pledges. This spring, shareholders in six of the largest U.S. banks will vote on resolutions calling for policies that honor banks’ long-term climate commitments.

Action 1: Sign the open letter  to big bank CEOs.

Bonus: Add your name to ask bank shareholders to insist on an end to fossil fuel expansion in time for April shareholder meetings.
For each of the above petitions, click “Edit subscription preferences” under the “Sign my name!” button to opt out of emails.​

Regional Disposal Company, which does business as Republic Services, will start providing operations, maintenance, transport and disposal services on May 1, 2023, according to the new contract. 

Action 2: Thank Thurston County Board of County Commissioners for Better, Cheaper Solid Waste Service. Contact Thurston County Commissioners

The contract’s increased service levels for Thurston County residents, in combination with reduced operational costs and improved alignment with the County's sustainability goals and environmental values, is an all-around win.
