"We were just beginning to set money aside for our elderly sisters and to care for our own retirement. Up to that point, we really did not have any investments. And as we started to do that, we decided it was really important to do it in a responsible way. We do always make sure we’re not concerned primarily for getting the very best earnings, but making sure that our investments are invested in companies that we believe in, and support. And if they don’t, we might have a small amount invested in other companies. Like some years ago, we withdrew from fossil fuels. However, we said, let’s keep a small amount so we can file shareholder resolutions in those companies."

"The community talked about, in some of the planning, how do we become more sustainable, what’s good for the environment? And that was when the bee colony collapse was so prevalent. And it’s like, well, that’s one of the things we could try. So we just ventured out and gave it a shot."

"To me, it’s again, it’s just how do we try and structure our life, our lifestyle, living according to the gospel. And it’s going to intersect with politics and economics, both. It’s just, you know, the nature of, being an active citizen. And we’re just trying to be good citizens."
