It’s Election season – don’t say you hadn’t noticed. But there’s a new kind of voting going on:

#votewithyourmoney

The rise of crowdfunding, social impact investing, community energy funding – to name a few emerging ways of keeping one eye on where your money is going, means that you can now INVEST THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE.

Money makes the world go round (as all the senior party treasurers know when they are planning election campaigns).

So why not vote with yours?

Because if the politicians see people backing what they care about with their own money, pretty soon, their policies will reflect your priorities, as this video explains.

A number of lenders to projects on Trillion Fund have already told us that they see what they are doing as voting with their money. Like Tomas, interviewed here.

If you are thinking about joining him and have some spare cash to put aside, it’s important to remember the risks involved with investing or lending to renewable energy projects – and it might not be right for your circumstances.

However if you just want to get involved in this Trillion Fund and Buzzbnk “election special” social media campaign, please use the hashtag #votewithyourmoney, share our blogs, RT us and tell us about ways you are voting with your money.
