you're doing it wrong (climate protests)

Hi all,
When you think about the future of our country and this planet it's hard to remain positive. It's almost enough to get you out on the streets protesting.
Well we're here to tell you there's a better (and easier) way to a brighter future. If enough Australians switched their superannuation from the bog-standard offerings to more eco-friendly alternatives we could make some serious positive changes.
Remember though, friendlyjordies is not a financial advisor.
Thank you all for your continued support!

Climate Active certification has on their website a list of companies, banks, superfunds, etc. Bank Australia is in there, but so is the NAB 🤷♂️ https://www.climateactive.org.au/

2020-07-06 01:53:48 +0000 UTCEG. CEO of AEMO (who operate the grid) a couple of months ago...“Australia already has the technical capability to safely operate a power system where three quarters of our energy at times comes from wind and solar energy generation. “However, to do so requires changes in our markets and regulatory requirements, otherwise, AEMO will be required to limit the contribution of these wind and solar resources to 50 or 60 per cent of electricity supply at any point in time, even though they are the lowest cost way of providing electricity,” . https://arena.gov.au/blog/75-renewable-nem-possible-by-2025-aemo/

2020-07-06 01:52:48 +0000 UTCOi! I want my dollar back for this one. Clearly shooting from the hip. If you care about getting green electricity for the country quickly then it isn't as simple as changing your super. You still need to vote but what we dearly need is bipartisan action and pressure on Angus Taylor to buck up and make some decisions. What is most needed now is not more money for projects but boring and market and regulatory reform. AEMO already know what needs doing, but they need the political pressure and $ to get it done...which must come from the government. Sorry to be a stickler but thems are some important facts. But sure, change your super if you like. (and on that, I can say that Future Super have great branding but there are many options here...all FS do is put your money into a single BetaShares ETF. You can chuck some money in that directly and have the same outcome if you have spare cash).

2020-06-29 14:30:33 +0000 UTCBank Australia is in the lead for ethical banking. I'd recommend them, as would others.
2020-06-29 14:30:01 +0000 UTCAlso, I'm with commbank but I'm keen to swap from a major bank, any recommendations?

2020-06-25 12:52:03 +0000 UTCHey Jordies! Just wanted to hear your take on renewable steel manufacturing. Albanese has backed coking coal beyond 2050, which comes with it's own emissions, after quickly looking into it it turns out that there are renewable ways of producing steel and it would reduce our emissions. Do you think Albanese should be pushing for this as opposed to backing coal? Curious to hear your thoughts.
