ClientEarth USA @clientearthusa.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Right now, $863 billion of Americans’ retirement savings is invested in fossil fuel companies. We don't think that fossil fuel profits are what most people are thinking about when they're working hard to set aside that money. So we asked, what is the future you really want to fund? 100
