My local credit union has a whole fact sheet just for sustainability loans. Loans for solar, heat pumps/weatherization (0% interest!), efficient appliances, bikes (0% for local ebikes!), and farm shares. A great example of what banks can be with leadership and good state policy.

Summer grilling usually starts with filling a propane tank or buying a bag of charcoal briquettes. But some people are ditching these fossil fuels for a more climate-friendly electric grill. My story for @npr.org: www.npr.org/2025/05/23/n...
Electric grills are a climate-friendly option to fossil fuel grills
Grilling usually involves burning fossil fuel. But some manufacturers are offering electric grills and citing climate change and convenience as reasons to switch.
