Sustainable Living
The U.S. faces some pressing challenges
2016 was the hottest year on record, as was 2015
The U.S. recycles less than 20% of its waste
Low-income families spend about 10% of their earnings on energy
Poor food choices are leading to higher childhood obesity
How are we helping to solve this problem?
Across our funds, our Sustainable Living investments have been addressing challenges like these by trying to divert waste from landfill; by promoting a more sustainable approach to food and farming; by refurbishing buildings to make them more energy-efficient; and more.
