As we celebrate Earth Day this year, we are reminding employees and members of the importance of going "green" - and how easy it is to start by simply switching to e-statements vs. paper statements. We are also sharing important information with our members regarding sustainable investment options! Everyone can do their part and start with something simple! On a side note, Prospera is also working on a more sustainable promotional material approach and this year our events will be much more "green" and will focus more on experiences vs "cheap, plastic hand-outs". I challenge all our partners to review their own practices and see where they can also make an impact. #goinggreen #community #climate #driverofchange #plasticreduction #sustainable #ESG
