Den globala ekonomin har länge byggt på obegränsade resurser och ständig tillväxt. Nu vet vi att vårt sätt att leva är ohållbart och allt fler ser över sina konsumtionsvanor. Vi pantar burkar, sopsorterar och köper ekologiskt. Men faktum är att ett hållbart sparande kan göra mer för klimatet och för ett hållbart samhälle. Dessutom är det lönsamt då bolag som satsar på hållbarhet nu går om sina konkurrenter och får bättre avkastning. I 'Guld och gröna skogar' får du tips, råd och praktisk vägledning om hur du på bästa sätt kan använda ditt sparande för att bidra till en hållbar framtid - samtidigt som du gör ekonomiska vinster.
