QUOTES

I make really different choices with the money I have. I'm interested in leveraging money for social change. I'm interested in using my money to help create a sustainable and just economy in B.C. I see this great opportunity for me and others like me to be able to use their assets for change,

We could dramatically accelerate innovations in sustainability and social justice just by making choices to use our money for positive solutions.

Most people think of the golden goose as the body of capital, and as long as you take care of that -- they even call it the corpus -- it can keep producing the interest and the dividends. I think the real golden goose is the Earth, and we're killing off the earth. We're killing off the golden goose.

I think if women really put their ethics behind their portfolios, we could make some serious change.

I think those of us who have extraordinary wealth have an opportunity to leverage that wealth to stimulate a just and sustainable economy. I know it goes against the grain but I know it's possible. It's just about deciding what kind of choices we want to make.
