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 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 and only takes 10-20min to switch. If we all do it, it will have a big impact. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit thegoodenergyproject.substack.com
