Viewers of The One Show were left confused and angry after millionaire filmmaker Richard Curtis told the public to switch their pension to a more sustainable one. He appeared on the show this evening (May 18) to discuss how pensions could be causing deforestation.
He was informing the One Show audience that pension funds are invested into places that contribute to deforestation, and we should try to put our money in more sustainable places. He said it was ‘profitable’ and ‘sensible’ to switch your pension to a more sustainable one. He suggested if people didn’t have pensions they should opt for a sustainable pension.
He said: “It’s not a huge amount of work - every single day of your life you could be investing in good businesses, rather than businesses that are damaging the planet.”
