Avoiding Meat, Climate Change & Investment Management
I hope you're having a great week. This week's newsletter isn't all that positive, as there's been a lot of negative news in the last week about the environment.
I've personally been spending a lot of time thinking about my persona environmental impact, partly due to my friend Kate's work opening a new Zero-Waste café in Halifax (check it out!!). It's going to lead to some personal changes, which I'll be writing about in the coming weeks.
Articles I'm Reading:
- Avoiding meat and dairy is ‘single biggest way’ to reduce your impact on Earth - The Guardian: as mentioned above, I've been thinking about this issue a lot lately, and despite how much I love meat, I think I'm going to be drastically reducing my own intake, largely because of this.
- We have 12 years to limit climate change catastrophe, warns UN - The Guardian: this is the main report that came out this week, and it doesn't paint a pretty picture.
- 4 big takeaways from the UN’s alarming climate change report - Vox: interpretation of the above report.
Newsletter I'm Reading:The Hustle
This funny, business-oriented daily email newsletter has become one of my favorites over the past year, and they just crossed 1M subscribers, so apparently others like it too. Part of my daily reading.
Product I'm Using:WealthSimple
I've been revamping my finances recently, and one of the primary decisions was to move most of my investments to WealthSimple, for a variety of reasons. They are clear, their products are beautiful and practical, and they have some of the lowest fees available. Currently available for some (depends on your bank): an app that rounds up your purchases to accelerate saving. On the way: a no-commission stock-trading app, which will likely mean I finally move all my investments there. Use the link above to get some money managed for free.
Have a great week!
Graham
