I work with a sustainability-oriented, green-focused bank based in Chicago's South Side: Shorebank. The bank's been a leader in community-oriented economics since 1973, both across the Midwest and internationally (pioneering microcredit finance in Kenya - Shorebank was referenced by Obama during his trip there). It's great to see the dialogue about responsible financial strategies reach the mainstream! There was a record number of viewers for this debate! If you're interested in reading about heathy options for personal banking, and about Shorebank's successes in bringing green-collar jobs to the South Side, along with millions of dollars profitably invested in affordable housing, green tech, etc, please take a look at http://shorebankdirect.sbk.com/. There's even a high-yield savings account for basic banking consumers that earns 3.5% (while funding worthwhile endeavors). Like other banks, the account's FDIC insured, has no monthly fees, has online and phone customer support, etc. Hi all.

Joe,

McCain offers nothing but empty promises. He knows how to solve the social security funding problem. He knows how to find and eliminate Bin Laden. And he knows how to solve the climate and energy crises with a magical influx of nuclear power plants. Reminds me of a Presidential candidate who had a secret plan for getting us out of Viet Nam.
