  • "We” as in consumers don’t use enough to hurt companies by divesting.

    I think you’re confused by what divesting is. That’s us as business owners, not as customers (obviously we as customers can hit them simultaneously from the other side too).

    Yes, individually it doesn’t hurt them much, but it becomes the death of a thousand cuts.

    If you can put pressure on your pension provider, local government, church, favourite charity or any other organisation you care about to drop funds with them in entirely then all the better.

    By all means do anything you can to reduce your individual carbon footprint

    Divesting is not to do with that, it’s about hitting these companies right in the share price.
