Green bonds are big business for climate investors

by John Stapel

The cost of transitioning from fossil fuels to clean energy seems fantastically astronomical. Current estimates of the capital needed to decarbonize the global economy and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 offer some eye-watering figures. They range from a high of $9.2 trillion yearly (a McKinsey report) to a low of about $1 trillion annually (according to think tank Carbon Tracker). So, based on those annual projections, a final price tag from now until 2050 could be anywhere between $30 t

How To Build Confidence As A Mom

by Ann deBruyn

There’s a huge difference between confidence and self confidence that can change the way you approach life and motherhood in the most amazing way. Confidence is simply feeling certain about something. Most often, we’re confident about something we know based on the past. If you’re a nurse, you would say you’re confident and it would be because of your past education and work experience. If you know how to drive a car, it’s based on your past experience driving. Self

Why Microsoft is a company to watch on climate policy

by John Stapel

The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) this summer has ushered in a new era of bold climate policy — at the federal, state and local levels. The IRA, while flawed, is potentially transformational, but only if we move quickly with implementation and follow up with policies that go further. What we learned in the past year is that the corporate sector is integral to continued momentum for policy change. One influential company (and the only Big Tech firm to back the IRA before its pas

7 reuse trailblazers you need to know in 2022

by John Stapel

This article originally appeared in our Circularity Weekly newsletter. Subscribe to the newsletter here. When it comes to reusables, I’m a fanatic, an enthusiast, a fan — insert any number of zealous descriptors and you wouldn’t be far off. That’s in part because my journey to circular economy analyst began with a reusables obsession — following a graduate school commitment to stop buying single-use packaging (a goal I, admittedly, often fell short on), finding innovative reusabl

Investing in next-gen farmers will create resilient food systems

by John Stapel

[GreenBiz publishes a range of perspectives on the transition to a clean economy. The views expressed in this article do not necessarily reflect the position of GreenBiz.] On June 1, the United States Department of Agriculture revealed a historic Food System Transformation plan, a framework that will invest over $2 billion in strengthening local and regional food supply chains, and which I believe has the potential to improve health and wellness in rural and urban communities across the cou

An Integrated Approach to Simplifying the Energy Transition

by John Stapel

Date/Time: November 3, 2022 (1-2PM ET / 10-11AM PT) Nearly 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies are committed to reducing their carbon footprint, yet the world currently faces pressures unprecedented in recent history – supply chain disruptions, energy price volatility, economic uncertainty and more.

Hot property: Why the financial sector must lead real estate decarbonization

by John Stapel

The Inflation Reduction Act directs over $50 billion in tax credits, rebates and grant programs toward reducing the carbon emissions generated by buildings. This is expected to leverage tens of billions more in private sector investment. While this investment is a "game changer," best estimates are that we will need to spend $1.7 trillion a year between 2020 and 2050 to decarbonize the existing residential and commercial building stock. In addition, we are on pace to spend $920 billion on resid

Unleashing the power of gender-smart climate investing in developed markets

by John Stapel

When many investors — especially those with a focus on impact, equity and resilience — think about the opportunity to invest with a dual climate and gender lens, their starting point is emerging markets. That’s largely due to the greater amount of storytelling that has been done about the opportunities for growth and impact in this context. But gender can be a source of rich market opportunity and impact in developed markets such as North America, Europe, Japan and South Korea, and Austra

The health, economic and community benefits of zero-carbon buildings

by John Stapel

This article was originally published on World Resource Institute's Insights blog. Read it here. Two new U.S. laws — the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act — make this a ripe moment to transform buildings in the United States into more modern homes, apartments, offices and civic spaces that will emit fewer greenhouse gases. At the same time, they will improve public health and safety, boost household savings and local economies, and advance soc

Mom Rage

by Ann deBruyn

As moms, we can often find ourselves feeling angry and experiencing what has been labeled Mom Rage. Whether it’s at our kids, ourselves, what’s happening in our home, or our spouse, mom rage is some sort of anger that you are taking out in your role as mom. There is so much shame and judgment around having mom rage, and it is something we talk about as if it’s terrible and shameful.

Decolonizing regenerative cattle ranching

When spring hits, Kelsey Scott finally breathes a sigh of relief. Come May, her 120 cows will be ready to birth calves, and as the weather warms, Scott knows the newest members of the herd will be able to grow strong before the arrival of another unforgiving South Dakota winter. While winters test the herd’s resilience, snow on the soil actually protects the soil’s microbes, small critters and plant root systems that support the cattle’s larger ecosystem.

Credit Card Mistakes & Traps To Avoid

by Donna Ryder

Most people don’t get into serious credit card debt overnight. Instead, things go wrong little by little until they realize they’ve got a serious problem.  The first credit card mistake is not paying attention to your cards and balances.

Feeling Irritated By Your Spouse

by Ann deBruyn

How often do you feel irritated by your spouse? You might think thoughts like “Why can’t he remember anything?” or “Why do I always have to remind him about this?” or “This is so irritating, this isn’t the first time it’s happened.” On default, our brains tell us that our spouses do something that irritates us, but it isn’t the case. Whenever you feel irritated by your spouse, it’s an indication of what’s happening internally for you, not externally. And while you will ne

Should I Buy A New Or Used Car? Pros, Cons (& getting a great deal)

by Donna Ryder

“Should I buy a new car?” If you asked almost every personal finance pundit that question, they’ll give you a bunch of reasons why you should buy used instead. Our founder, personal finance expert Ramit Sethi, disagrees. Used cars can be a good way to go. But to apply a broad rule that “used is the best” is short-sighted. In fact, Ramit thinks there are many more reasons why people should buy a new car than used. Should I buy a new car or used car in the long run?  It will d

Negative Thoughts As A Mom

by Ann deBruyn

Having negative thoughts as a mom is so normal. They might sound like, “Mornings are so stressful,” or, “We’re always late,” or, “My kids deserve better.” There’s this overarching sense that you’ve done something terribly wrong, and it quickly leads to feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or unappreciated. While having negative thoughts is part of the human condition because it’s what our brains are wired for, this doesn’t have to mean the end of the world. It can often seem

The best online savings accounts of 2022

And once you know that, you’ll remove the j

by Ann deBruyn

When we have kids, there is such a culture around your body being amazing for getting pregnant and having a baby, but then after the baby is here, we want our pre-baby body back.
