Here’s today’s letter
One interesting thing I've seen with this Ukraine thing is how people are sending money in untraditional ways. So I heard people are buying things from Ukrainians on Etsy (like digital products) or booking Airbnbs. It's not quite mutual aid, but it's innovative. I don't have a question just a comment about how interesting it is.

34. Elon Musk, Twitter, and ESG
Here’s today’s letter:
I am lowkey stressed about Elon Musk and Twitter. At first when he said he wanted to buy Twitter I thought he was just trying to get the attention that he craves, but it turns out he was serious and I just read that he’s going to buy Twitter. I know on a rational level that he’s not the first billionaire to buy a media company, if that’s what Twitter is, but I feel stressed because I see Twitter as having been instrumental to some of the social causes that I care about. All of this has me thinking about something I heard on an early episode of the show, if Elon Musk becomes one of Twitter’s leaders, would that change Twitter’s ESG score?

36. Greenwashing 101
Here’s today’s letter
I mentioned to my brother that I started trying to buy certain brands and shop at certain stores because I’m worried about climate change and he said that all of that marketing is greenwashing. I didn’t want to give him the smug feeling of knowing I have no idea what he’s talking about. So, I’ll ask you, what is greenwashing?

Transcript
Welcome back to Spend Donate Invest. I know it’s not just me. There are a lot of things that keep me up at night. Climate change, inequality, poverty. And what surprises me is that we usually talk about how we can vote, or even how we can protest. But I’m curious about the power of our money.
Are there ways that we can use our money in line with some of our other values? That’s what this show is about. You can send in your letters with whatever you’ve been thinking about, and the
