Lead-safety Message: In A Life on our Planet (2020), my hero David Attenborough’s vision of humans cooperating to achieve the rewilding of the world and avert climate disaster includes encouraging every individual to ensure their wealth is invested sustainably. If your bank or super fund isn’t aiming to help end climate change, commit today to switch to one that does!
