What’s the Smartest Way You’ve Used Home Equity to Build Wealth?
Over the years I’ve noticed a lot of homeowners build substantial equity but never really put it to work. For some people that’s intentional they prefer the security of leaving it untouched.

Delta Variant a Grim Reminder of Food Banks' Importance
Among the many images seared into our collective memory during this pandemic are the photos of long queues of cars waiting to get bags or boxes of groceries from food banks.

Progressive Finance’s Role in Generating Renewables for All
Money is the lifeblood of the economy. Where money flows, economic muscle grows. Money, like energy, is essential to human survival on this planet. No nation knows this as well as the United States, especially considering 2020’s $21 trillion in gross domestic product. Moreover, concluded in the latest IPCC report on climate change, the survival of the human race is in dire jeopardy, especially as the world continues to run the biggest atmospheric “doping” scandal of all time.
Integrating Racial Equity into Our Sustainability Work
Sustainability professionals continue to be expected to respond to a growing list of topics, while simultaneously recognizing the intersectionality among them.

The Next 100 Days Will Be Crucial for Securing Climate Resilience

Small Landowners Are Untapped Heroes in the Fight Against Climate Change
Forests are fundamentally linked to climate change, both as a cause and a solution. Clearing and mismanagement of forests contribute about 12 percent of global carbon emissions. But forests also act as a carbon sink, absorbing carbon dioxide, as well as regulating water flows and protecting the rich biodiversity and communities that depend on them.
Why the Shift from Measuring GDP to Green Growth Matters
Simon Kuznets, the economist and statistician often referred to as the “Father” of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), once warned, “The welfare of a nation can scarcely be inferred from a measurement of national income as defined by GDP.” Despite Kuznets’ warning, GDP has evolved as the primary measure of a nation’s prosperity, health and well-being. That may change, however, as proponents of newer metrics such as green growth are gaining traction.
Are Lab-Created Diamonds ‘Forever,’ or Only Second Best?

Even the world’s largest diamond retailer, Signet, is expanding its lab-created offerings.
The COVID Recovery Isn’t Looking ‘Green’ So Far, But it Should
Already, the pope, the secretary-general of the United Nations (UN), and even 40 million global health professionals have called for a “green” COVID recovery. The overwhelming reason? Global resiliency. Why, then, haven’t nations been heeding the advice and decarbonizing their economies? According to a new International Energy Agency (IEA) report that evaluates global 2021 emissions and energy demand, energy consumption is set to increase this year, with a widespread doubling down on fossil fuels.

Finance Wakes Up: But Are ESG Funds the Answer?
