Kyle Thiermann, a surfer tells us about banking and reminds us:
"You have the power to stop funding the problem and start funding the solution."
"Through your daily decisions you have the power to Change the World."
Kyle has been responsible for people moving hundreds of millions of dollars out of the big banks into local banks and credit unions. His website, surfingforchange.com has some great movies of surfing and more excellent information.
Here's his video on the importance of buying local:
Hooray for Kyle! He's showing everyone can make a difference. You too!
This is a great example of the shifting dynamics of media and influence. I really like Kyle's message, and thinks he is doing a great job organizing and spreading his campaign. It show cases how one person with a message and purpose can affect change, and how the uses of social media and the Internet can allow of that to occur. It is a good model for us interested in social change to follow. Thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love a good surfing flick... and a positive message to boot! Thanks for sharing Rachel.
ReplyDeleteRachel. I have learned so much about how money works. I appreciate the videos and your words have inspired me. I am a cynic by nature when it comes to business and their talk about environmental issues. You have convinced me that I should take another look. Thank you.
