| The pandemic teaches us the high price we pay for the failure to confront crises boldly and decisively. The denial allowed the virus to spread throughout the country when we should have been preparing―and more than 150,000 people are dead as a result. The climate crisis will be even worse―We're in a countdown to save the planet. Every day counts. You're probably already taking action in your daily life. But if you're keeping your money at a big bank checking or savings account the sad, uncomfortable truth is that your own money is likely fighting back against efforts to curb the climate crisis. That's because the 35 biggest banks (including household names such as Wells Fargo and Bank of America) have used over $2.7 trillion of their own customers' money to fund fossil fuel projects since the Paris Climate Agreement in 2016.1 It's up to you to decide which side you're on—not just in words, but in your actions. It's your choice: stand by and allow big banks to use your money to fund the destruction of the planet—or make the move to spending and saving your dollars with Aspiration, a financial institution built on helping you save money and save the planet. With an Aspiration account, you'll help fight climate change, instead of fueling it. A switch to Aspiration may save you up to $300 or more per year while earning up to 15x the national interest rate for savings.5 You can also choose your own monthly service fee, and we won't charge you any overdraft fees. Take action today and switch to Aspiration to vote with your wallet.
