When you put your money into your checking or savings account, you might imagine it stacked up inside a giant, Hollywood-style walk-in safe, patiently waiting for you to spend it. But your money doesn't just sit there, your bank puts it to work in the world.

And if you have your accounts with a mega-bank like Citigroup, Bank of America, or Wells Fargo, you might not like what your money is doing. Our latest Green American gives you the tools to kick your mega-bank — and all of its predatory, unsustainable practices — to the curb.
